Solubility of CO_(2) is ________ times higher than that of O_(2)

Compared to O_(2) diffusion rate of CO_(2) through the diffusion membrane per unit difference in partial pressure is much higher. Explain.

Partial pressure of CO_(2) is higher :-

Assertion: Under similar conditions of temperature and pressure, O_(2) diffuses 1.4 times faster than SO_(2) . Reason: Density of SO_(2) is 1.4 times greater than that of O_(2) .

Assertion : Bond length of O_(2) is more than that of O_(2)^(+) . Reason : Bond order of O_(2)^(+) is more than that of O_(2).

Assertion :D_(2)O has higher boiling point than H_(2)O . Reason : Viscosity of H_(2)O(l) is less than that of D_(2)O(l) .

Assertion: The diffusion of carbon dioxide is 20 times faster then oxygen. Reason: It is due to difference in partial pressure as well as solubility of diffusing gases .
