Assertion :- The amount of CO(2 that can...

Assertion `:-` The amount of `CO_(2` that can diffuse through the diffusion membrane per unit differnece in partial pressure is much higher compared to that of `O_(2)`.
Reason `:-` The solubility of `CO_(2` is 20-25 times higher than that of `O_(2` solubility.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
 As the solubility of `CO_(2)` is 20 -25 times higher than that of `O_(2)`, the amount of `CO_(2)` that can diffuse through the diffusion membrane per unit difference in partial pressure is much higher compared to that of `O_(2)`.Â
