Space/Science » in reply to gas vs liquid

If I had a harder background in chemistry I could probably work this out from ion/molecule characteristics, but is it possible to dissolve anything in a cryogenic gas like you can with water? I suspect not.

Not talking about things reacting to the gas, such as LOX oxidizing something in contact with it.

How about suspensions of fine materials?
