Question

1pt what is the most abundant gas found in ocean water? a. oxygen b. carbon dioxide c. carbon monoxide d. nitrogen

Explanation:

To determine the most abundant gas in ocean water, we analyze each option:

• Option A (oxygen): While oxygen is present, it's not the most abundant.
• Option B (carbon dioxide): Ocean water dissolves a significant amount of carbon dioxide, more than oxygen, and it's involved in ocean chemistry and biological processes.
• Option C (carbon monoxide): Rare in ocean water, not abundant.
• Option D (nitrogen): Less abundant than carbon dioxide in ocean water.

So the most abundant gas in ocean water is carbon dioxide.

Answer:

B. carbon dioxide
