|
chlorine
|
|
|
nitrogen
|
|

|
carbon dioxide

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Hence, Oxygen, Carbon dioxide, and Nitrogen are mostly soluble gases in water.
Detailed explanation-2: -Carbon dioxide content in air is only 0.03%, but it is highly soluble in water unlike oxygen and one volume of CO2 dissolves in equal volume of water, the solubility being higher at low temperature (see Table III).
Detailed explanation-3: -CO2 is soluble because water molecules are attracted to these polar areas. The bond between carbon and oxygen is not as polar as the bond between hydrogen and oxygen, but it is polar enough that carbon dioxide can dissolve in water.
