b. CH4
C.PH
d. N2

Respuesta :

Solubility refers to the ability of substances to dissolve in a solvent. Of the gases listed here, that which would most likely dissolve in water is;

  • a. CO2

Carbon dioxide is a gas that has a very high solubility in water. When bubbled through water, 99% of the gas dissolves while 1% of the gas comes off as carbonic acid.

The solubility of carbon dioxide increases with an increase in pressure and decreases with an increase in temperature.

Therefore, option A is correct.
