Partial pressure of oxygen dissolved in blood is 50 mm Hg. That means that:

1. It exerts a force per cm^2 equal to that of a column of mercury with 1 cm^2 base and 50 mm height
2. It would be in equilibrium with gaseous oxygen that is at partial pressure of 50 mm Hg
3. Both (1) and (2)
4. Neither (2) or (2)

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is "Option 2".

Explanation:

  • In this question, the balance with a partial 50 mm Hg pressure of gassing oxygen.
  • In this, the base value is given in the cm that is incorrect because it is measured in mm.
  • In this, the partial pressure of gas in the liquid is equal to the pure pressure of the gas.
