It depends on what you mean by capacity:

The amount of water in the ocean would probably be measured in millions of cubic kilometres.

The amount of a chemical substance it can dissolve might be in tons or kilotons - though the amount that can be absorbed safely will be very much smaller - possible only kilograms.
