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.

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: 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 .

A: Human blood always contains more amount of CO_(2) than blood oxygen. R: Solubility coefficient of CO_(2) is more than O_(2) .

The partial pressure (in mm Hg) of oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) at alveoli (the site of diffusion) are:

Assertion (A): Magnesium can be obtained by the electronlysis of aqueous solution of MgCl_(2) . Reason (R ): The electrode potential of Mg^(2+) is much higher than H^(o+) .
