Report Error
A
10-15 times higher than that of
O
2
18%
B
20-25 times higher than that of
O
2
65%
C
slightly higher than that of
O

6%
D
slightly lower than that of
O

12%
Solution:
The solubility of
C
O
2
is
20
−
25
times higher than that of
O
2
. Therefore, the amount of
C
O
2
that can diffuse through the diffusion membrane per unit difference in partial pressure is much higher as compared to that of
O
2
.
