Q1: The equilibrium concentration c of a gas in a solution (typically water) which is present in the atmosphere with partial pressure p dictated by Henry's Law:
$H_{cp} = c/p$
where $H_{cp}$ is Henry's coefficient for that specific gas.
This law states that the concentration of the gas in the solution is directly proportional to its pressure in the ...

Why does it have such a low solubility? I would have thought the OH group would make it more soluble.
Interesting question but there is a logical fallacy. You are connecting the concept of solute's polarity with its water solubility. Note the word polarity is a catch-all term for many interactions. Solubility is the hardest thing to predict or model! It is ...

I believe have found a answer.
It's valid mathematically, make sense physically but I don't know if chemically is true.
I posted to community appreciation.
There we go!
The reactions
ionization of weak acid:
$$\ce{HA + H2O <=> H3O+ + A-}\qquad K_\ce{a}=\frac{\ce{[H3O+][A-]}}{\ce{[HA]}}
\tag{1}
\label{eq:KWeakAcid}$$
ionization of weak base:
$$\...

To find a solvent with low solubility for non polar gases like CO2 you have to compare the polarity of the solvents. A very polar solvent like water is the best choice.
There's a related question here: Dissolving of non polar gases in water (liquid)
At the end of this answer I have added two links. The first one gives you the solubility of CO2 in water. ...

Here is some data on other well-soluble salts:
Comparing the values, both the anion and the cation contribute to magnitude of enthalpy and entropy. The larger cations seem to contribute to a larger entropy of dissolution, as do the larger anions. The entropy is concentration-dependent, so I assume the data is for a standard state of about 1 mol/L dissolved ...

Best way is sending a sample for Atomic Adsorption Spectroscopy (AAS). You can get the concentration for $\ce{Mn, Pb, Fe, Cr, Ni}$, and other water goodies. Contact a local university or lab and get a price quote for a test.
Or get a flame spectroscope and DIY https://web.pdx.edu/~atkinsdb/teach/427/Expt-AtomicSpec.pdf

In solids, reorientational and especially translational molecular motion are highly hindered. The motion of individual molecules is constrained about mean fixed positions within a regular lattice. Such regularity is absent in liquids, where significant thermal energy is associated with rearrangements in molecular position and orientation.
This is of course ...

The $\mathrm{p}K_\mathrm{sp}$ value of $15.69$ for $\ce{HgCl2}$ given by your reference must have an error. First of all, $\ce{HgCl2}$ is fairly soluble in water at $\pu{20 ^\circ C}$. Wikipedia lists it as $\pu{65.7 g L-1}$, yet lists solubility of $\ce{Hg2Cl2}$ as $\pu{3.25e-4 g L-1}$. Meantime, I found an University of Arkansas, Little Rock website, which ...
