As the solubility of CO2 is 20-25 times higher than that of O2, the amount of CO2 that can diffuse through the diffusion membrane per unit difference in partial pressure is much higher compared to that of O2

Q. Statement I: The amount of $C O_{2}$ that can diffuse through the diffusion membrane per unit difference in partial pressure is much higher compared to that of $O_{2}$
Statement II: Solubility of $C O_{2}$ is 20-25 times higher than that of $O_{2}$

Both statements I and II are correct and II explains I

Both statements I and II are correct and II does not explain I

Statement I is true and statement II is false

Both statements I and II are false

As the solubility of $C O_{2}$ is $20 - 25$ times higher than that of $O_{2}$ , the amount of $C O_{2}$ that can diffuse through the diffusion membrane per unit difference in partial pressure is much higher compared to that of $O_{2}$
