What is the difference in solubility between CO₂ and O₂?

What is the difference in solubility between CO₂ and O₂?
  1. CO₂ is 5 times more soluble than O₂
  2. CO₂ is 10 times more soluble than O₂
  3. CO₂ is 20-25 times more soluble than O₂
  4. CO₂ is 50 times more soluble than O₂

Solution

The solubility of CO₂ is 20-25 times higher than that of O₂, which affects the rate of diffusion of the two gases.
