Which of the following statements are true/false?

1. The blood transports carbon dioxide comparatively easily because of its highest solubility.
2. Approximately 8.9% of carbon dioxide is transported being dissolved in the plasma of blood.
3. The carbon dioxide produced by the tissues, diffuses passively into the blood stream and passes into red blood corpuscles and react with water to form H2CO3.
4. The oxyhaemoglobin HbO2 of the erythrocytes is basic.
5. The chloride ions diffuse from plasma into the erythrocytes to maintain ionic balance.
