Q2. Compared to O₂ diffusion rate of CO₂ through the diffusion membrane per unit difference in partial pressure is much higher. Explain.

As. the solubility rate of carbondioxide is 20-25 times higher than that of the oxygen the amount of carbondioxide that can diffuse through the diffusion membrane per unit difference in partial pressure ismuch higher compared to that of oxygen.
