14. The diffusing capacity Dj is 21 mL O2/min-mmHg. Using the value for K in Box 7.3, estimate the diffusion coefficient for O2 in the respiratory membrane. Estimate values for A and S from information provided in the text, and justify your estimates. Dgas K gas Kgas (mL gas/mL-atm) Do,K02 02 0.024 1 CO2 0.570 20 CO 10.018 0.81 N2 10.012 10.53 He 0.008 0.93 The table shows values for the solubility coefficient for a range of respiratory gases. By using this table, you can calculate the D, for any of these compounds if the D for any one of them is known. How would you do this
