Answer:

The strong hydrogen bonds   in water made water stable and difficult to breakdown into constituent  oxygen and hydrogen atoms.  at a temprature less than 100 degree..

Oxygen is a strong electronegative atom than  the two hydrogen atoms it is attached to in  water. It  pulls more electrons to itself than the hydrogen atoms.. This strengthened  hydrogen bonds in water .

Consequently, it will be difficult for the needed oxygen atoms to simply diffuse into the alveoli to reach the blood,Compare to its  molecular form  where its atoms awere held  by relatively week covalent bonds.

Besides the porosity    of the thin  alveolar endothelial   walls of 0.2 micrometer is   too small for the larger water molecules to pass through.

Answer:

results could be biased and therefore they are not reliable

Explanation:

A conflict of interest is generated when the authors of a given study have any type of interest that could influence their judgments, results and/or conclusions. These conflicts of interest include any relevant financial relationships, personal, religious, political or intellectual interests. To solve this situation, peer-reviewed, well-reputed journals generally include a conflict of interest statement where authors declare all interests that might be perceived as conflicting.
