Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11
If the solubility of oxygen is 1.2 mL per 100 mL of blood, what is the maximum volume of carbon dioxide that can dissolve in the same volume of blood given its solubility is 25 times higher than that of oxygen?
A
30 mL
B
24 mL
C
20 mL
D
15 mL
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
According to the given NCERT context, the solubility of CO2 is 20-25 times higher than that of O2. If O2 solubility is 1.2 mL per 100 mL of blood, then CO2 solubility would be 1.2 mL × 25 = 30 mL.
