Question

complete each sentence with the correct word.

1. the law of partial pressure, also known as (click to select) law, states that the individual gases in the air contribute to the total atmospheric pressure as a function of the percentage each gas contributes to the total volume.
2. if two gases have the same partial pressure, but gas a has a higher water solubility coefficient than gas b, then (click to select) will diffuse at a faster rate.
3. (click to select) states that the amount of a gas that dissolves in water is a function of its partial pressure and its solubility coefficient.
4. if the alveolar partial pressure of gas a is 110 mm hg and the partial pressure of gas b is 135, then (click to select) will diffuse into the blood at a faster rate.
5. if the pco2 in the tissues increases, then the pco₂ in the systemic venous blood will (click to select).

(cllck to select)
boyles law
daltons law
decrease
henrys law
gas a
gas b
increase

Explanation:

1. Dalton's law is the law of partial pressure.
2. According to Henry's law, higher solubility means faster diffusion.
3. Henry's law relates gas solubility, partial pressure.
4. Higher partial pressure (gas B) leads to faster diffusion.
5. Increased tissue \(P_{CO_2}\) causes increased venous \(P_{CO_2}\).

Answer:

1. Dalton's law
2. gas A
3. Henry's law
4. gas B
5. increase
