What is the solubility of oxygen in water? Give references for your answer. I saw some that said cc/gm or something like that.

We'll try, and I see Truong-Son N. has already tried; here is another attempt......
Explanation:
I think you mean
Sometimes I remember that
And thus
Equivalently
If I have muddied the waters, I apologize.........
Depends on what temperatures you want though, because this is experimentally determined.
Here's a graph based on the above reference, for the solubility of
For pure oxygen in water, divide the solubility by the mol fraction of oxygen in air,
Here's the data for oxygen in air, in one spreadsheet page:
The units are milligrams per liter of solution for the solubility. Or, another option is that I've also converted the solubility to molarity:
#cancel"mg"/"L" xx cancel"1 g"/(1000 cancel"mg") xx "1 mol O"_2/(31.998 cancel"g") = "mol O"_2/"L soln"#
And also the pure oxygen version:
