Carbon dioxide diffuses (moves from a higher concentration to a lower concentration) into the ocean but is affected by the salinity of the water. Which choice BEST describes what you would expect the absorption of CO2 to be in the Dead Sea (known for its high salinity)?

increased diffusion of CO2 in the Dead Sea

increased diffusion of CO 2 in the Dead Sea

more diffusion of CO2 in the Dead Sea

more diffusion of CO 2 in the Dead Sea

less diffusion of CO2 in the Dead Sea

less diffusion of CO 2 in the Dead Sea

no diffusion of CO2 in the Dead Sea

no diffusion of CO 2 in the Dead Sea

Answer 1

The BEST choice that describes the absorption of CO2 in the Dead Sea, known for its high salinity, is:

less diffusion of CO2 in the Dead Sea

Higher salinity can reduce the solubility of gases like carbon dioxide in water, leading to less diffusion of CO2 in such environments.
