Question

One of the possible consequences of climate change is an increase in the temperature of ocean water. The oceans serve as a "sink" for CO2by dissolving large amounts of it.

The figure on the left (Figure 1) shows the solubility of CO2 in water as a function of temperature. Does CO2 behave more or less similarly to other gases in this respect?

Yes. The general shape of the solubility versus temperature curve for CO2 is similar to that for other gases. No. Unlike other gases, the solubility of CO2 in water increases with increasing temperature. No. Unlike other gases, the solubility of CO2 in water decreases with increasing temperature. 3.5 co, CO 2.5 1.5 1 0.5 10 30 40 50 60 Water temperature (°C) 0a 0 453 150 (JareM 8quad SEB 8) AHTyqnlog (JareM 81 18

Explanation / Answer

The solubility of gas in water increases by decreasing the temperature. It is similar to all gasses as CO2

Hence the answer is A) (Yes. The general shape of the solubility versus temperature curve for CO2 is similar to that for other gases.)
