Ammonia is more soluble than oxygen in water. Why ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Ammonia forms hydrogen bonding with water molecules, this intermolecular bonds are very strong and thus the ammonia is more soluble in water. Ammonia is strongly interact with water to form ammonium hydroxide. But oxygen is more electronegative it is not able to interact with water more. So `NH_(3)` is more soluble than `O_(2)` in water.
