The following are the two statements regarding alveolar fluid: (a) It contains a surfactant that reduces the tendency of alveoli to collapse. (b) Surfactant in the alveolar fluid lowers the surface tension. Of the above statements, which one of the following options is correct?

Only the surface atoms in an adsorbent, play an active role in adsorption. These atoms posses some residual forces like vander Waal's forces and chemical forces. In the process of adsorption, weak adsorbate is substituted by strong adsorbate. Activated charcoal used in gas mask is already exposed to the atmospheric air, so the gases and water vapours in air are adsorbed on its surface. When the mask is exposed to chlorine atmosphere, the gases are displaced by chlorine. Porous and finely powdered solids, e.g., charcoal and Fuller's earth adsorb more as compared to the hard non-porous material. It is due to this property that the powdered characoal is used in gas masks. In general, easily liquefiable gases like CO_2, NH_3, Cl_2 , and SO_2 etc., are adsorbed to a greater extent than the elemental gases, eg., H_2, N_2, O_2, He , etc. Which of the following gases will be most easily adsorbed by the charcoal in the gas mask

The organ of a person has been damaged completely due to a poisonous waste material B has started accumulation in his blood making it dirty. In order to save this persons life the blood from an artery in the person s arm is made to flow Into Iong tubes made of substance E which are kept in coiled form in a tank containing solution F. This solution contains three materials G H and I in similar proportions to those in normal blood As the person s blood passes through long tubes of substance E most of the wastes present in it go into solution The clean blood is then put back into a I In the person for circulation .Name the wastes substance B
