why is it important that gases dissolve in water
Interactive: Carbon cycle. Carbon dioxide is one of the most important gases that dissolve in the ocean. Some of it stays as dissolved gas, but most reacts with the water to form carbonic acid or reacts with carbonates already in the water to form bicarbonates.This removes dissolved carbon dioxide from the water.ome of the properties of seawater affect how much gas can be dissolved in it: 1  Cold water holds more gas than warm water. 2  Seawater with low salinity holds more gas than high salinity water. 3  Deep water, which has a high pressure, holds more gas than shallow water.
