Which mechanism dictates the increased solubility of carbon dioxide in cold seawater relative to warm seawater?

💡 Explanation

When seawater cools, the lower kinetic energy of the water and CO2 molecules favors the formation of stronger dipole-dipole intermolecular forces increasing CO2 solubility via the hydration shell formation. Therefore, increased dipole-dipole interactions results, rather than bond disruption, kinetic energy increases or covalent dissociation, which involve other conditions.
