The solubility of CO2 in water can be accounted for by?

A. Van der Waal’s forces
B. Ionic attraction
C. dipole attraction
D. covalent bonding

Correct Answer: Option A

A. Van der Waal’s forces

Explanation

In CO2, due to electronegativity difference oxygens have a slight negative charge, hence surrounded by polar water molecules forming a cage structure. This leads to its solubility.
