Respuesta :
The concentration difference and surface area lead to decrease but the diffusion distance increases due to application of chlorine.
The difference in the concentration of a substance between two regions is known as the concentration gradient.
Surface area is the total area that the surface of the object occupies.
Diffusion rate is defined as the change in the quantity of diffusing molecules inside the cell in a specific period of time.
The chlorine gas greatly affected the concentration difference because it lowers the value. The gas increases the diffusion distance but decreases the surface area of the patient's lungs. The decrease in the concentration difference leads to slower the diffusion rate.
It is because there is less difference in the concentration of both regions i.e. lungs and the surrounding atmosphere and when there is equal amount on both sides the diffusion of gas molecules stopped so we can say that decrease occur in the concentration difference and surface area but increase occur in the diffusion distance
