Partial Pressure of gases in fluids Each gas has a specific solubility 0, Solubility coefficient=0.003 ml/100 ml Blood C02=0.06 ml/100 ml Blood(x 20 of02) Gases dissolve in fluids by moving down a Partial Pressure gradient rather than a concentration gradient Consider a container of fluid in a vacuum That is opened to the air Molecules of gas begin to enter the fluid6 Consider a container of fluid in a vacuum Partial Pressure of Gases in Fluids Each gas has a specific solubility O2 Solubility coefficient = 0.003 ml/100 ml Blood C02 = 0.06 ml/100 ml Blood (x 20 of 02) Gases dissolve in fluids by moving down a Partial Pressure gradient rather than a concentration gradient That is opened to the air Molecules of gas begin to enter the fluid
