CO2 is more diffusible than O2 because it is more soluble in water and has a higher molecular weight, allowing it to move more readily across cell membranes and tissues. CO2 also has a higher partial pressure gradient than O2, which drives its diffusion from tissues to the lungs for elimination.

CO2


Why does more CO2 than o2 dissolve in liquid when both gases are at the same pressure?

This is due to differences in solubility between CO2 and O2 in the liquid. CO2 is more soluble in liquid compared to O2, so more CO2 molecules dissolve than O2 molecules when both are at the same pressure. This difference in solubility is attributed to the chemical nature of the gases and the liquid being dissolved in.


Which gas diffuses faster O2 or CO2 and how much faster?

CO2 diffuses faster than O2 because it has a lower molecular weight and smaller size, allowing it to move more quickly through a medium. The exact difference in diffusion rate can vary depending on the conditions, but in general, CO2 diffuses about 20% faster than O2.


Is oxygenated water less dense than carbonated water?

I would think so. Oxygen is lighter than CO2. The solubility of CO2 is also higher than O2 in water, so there can be more of it in the water.


What substance needed by the body cells enters the body through the lungs?

O2 and Co2, but we breathe out the Co2 again + the O2 which is converted in more Co2


Does a compound have one kind atom?

A compund ALWAYS consists of more than one element. O2 is not a compound CO2 is a compound.


How does the destruction of the Amazon affect global warming?

trees convert CO2 to O2. CO2 is the cause of the warming The less trees there are to convert CO2, the more CO2 there will be


What is the relationship between CO2 and N2O?

CO2 and N2O are related because they are both gases that have greater density than that of O2


What would happen if there were more organisms that produced CO2 than O2?

There would be more carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, so more heat would be captured in the atmosphere and global warming would increase.


Why oxygen is the mostly commonly found element?

It is not. CO2 is more common on earth than O2 aswell as Hydrogen. In space its even less common.
