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 CO2 by dissolving large amounts of it.
(a) The figure below 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?
(b) What are the implications of this figure for the problem
of climate change?
