The amount of carbon dioxide that can diffuse through the diffusion membrane is much higher compared to that of oxygen because:

1. the gradient across the membrane is much higher for carbon dioxide
2. carbon dioxide is more toxic than oxygen
3. solubility of carbon dioxide is much higher than that of oxygen
4. carbon dioxide has more affinity for hemoglobin than that of oxygen
