It is necessary that lungs must be present in anatomically air-tight chamber because: 

1. we cannot directly alter the pulmonary volume
2. our lungs are not made of any elastic tissue
3. the pleural cavity always has a positive pressure with respect to pulmonary pressure
4. the partial pressure of oxygen in atmosphere is less than that in the alveoli

The amount of carbon dioxide that can diffuse through the diffusion membrane is much higher compared to that of oxygen because:

1. the gradient across the membrane is much higher for carbon dioxide
2. carbon dioxide is more toxic than oxygen
3. solubility of carbon dioxide is much higher than that of oxygen
4. carbon dioxide has more affinity for hemoglobin than that of oxygen

2. Volume of air that will remain in the lungs after a normal expiration
3. Maximum volume of air a person can breathe out after a forced inspiration
4. Total volume of air accommodated in the lungs at the end of a forced inspiration
