30-35 times higher than that of CO2 in blood
20-25 times higher than that of CO2 in blood
20-25 times lower than that of CO2 in blood
10-15 times higher than that of CO2 in blood

Answer 1

Answer:

answer is c

Explanation:

co2 is 20-25 times more soluble than o2

Answer 2

$7$Answer:

correct option is, c) $20 -25$ times lower than that of $CO_{2}$ in blood.

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide is more soluble in blood than oxygen in the blood. carbon dioxide is $20 -25$ times more soluble than oxygen in the blood. About $20 -25$ percent of carbon dioxide is transported by RBCs and $70$ percent is carried as bicarbonates. Nearly $7$ percent of oxygen is carried as a dissolved state through plasma. Carbon dioxide has more affinity towards hemoglobin than oxygen. The double bonds between the carbon and oxygen in carbon dioxide are polarized, while in oxygen it is not polarized. This helps carbon dioxide to dissolve more easily in water also.
