Statement 1: Solubility of CO2 is 20-25 times more than that of O2.
Statement 2: The amount of CO2 that can diffuse through the diffusion membrane per unit difference in the partial pressure is much higher as compared to O2.
Statement 1 is true and 2 is false
Statement 1 is false and 2 is true.
Both statements are true.
Both statements are false
Compared to O2, CO2 is 20–25 times more soluble and CO2 may diffuse across the diffusion membrane at a substantially faster rate per unit variation in partial pressure.
Option 3 is the correct answer.
