Which of the following is an INCORRECT statement relating to the behavior of gases?
A) When a gas is in contact with a liquid, the gas will dissolve the liquid in proportion to its partial pressure. |
B) The volume of a gas and the pressure on it are directly proportional. As pressure increases, volume increases. |
C) The lower the hemoglobin saturation with oxygen, the more carbon dioxide the blood can carry. |
D) Each gas in a mixture diffuses down its own concentration gradient independent of other gases. |
Answer is option B.
According to boyle's law volume of a gas inversely proportional to pressure of the gas at constant temparature. That means increase in pressure decreases the volume of gas. Therefore option B statement is INCORRECT.
