Q. The solubility of $CO _{2}$ in the blood is

Breathing and Exchange of Gases

Solution:

The solubility of $CO _{2}$ is $20-25$ times higher than that of $O _{2}$. Therefore, the amount of $CO _{2}$ that can diffuse through the diffusion membrane per unit difference in partial pressure is much higher as compared to that of $O _{2}$.
