. Hemoglobin (Hb) and oxygen gas form a complex (HbO2) that carries oxygen throughout the human body. Unfortunately, carbon mono

xide also binds to hemoglobin so that an equilibrium is established. Carbon monoxide poisoning occurs when the concentration of HbO2 in the blood is reduced. HbO2 CO HbCO O2 The first aid for a person suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning is to (1) remove them to an area of fresh air, and (2) administer oxygen. Using the principles of equilibrium, explain how each of these helps to restore the HbO2 concentration.

Answer:

1. Removing them to an area of fresh air. This helps to prevents further poisoning by the carbon monoxide and increase the amount of oxygen entering into the body. This will help to reduce the concentration of carbon monoxide binding oxygen

2. Administering pure oxygen goes a long way to enhance ventilation and increase the oxygen saturation to 100%. This will help to overcome the effect of the carbon monoxide and promote more hemoglobin binding

A sample of hydrogen gas was collected over water at 21ºc and 685 mmhg. the volume of the container was 7.80 l. calculate the m
murzikaleks [220]
To determine the mass of the hydrogen gas that was collected, we calculate for the moles of hydrogen gas from the conditions given. In order to do this, we need an equation which would relate pressure, volume and temperature. For simplicity, we assume the gas is an ideal gas so we use the equation PV = nRT where P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles of the gas, T is the temperature and R is the universal gas constant. We calculate as follows:

PV = nRT
n = PV / RT
n = (18.6/760) (7.80) / 0.08205 ( 21 + 273.15)
n = 0.0079 mol

Mass = 0.0079 mol ( 18.02 g / mol ) = 0.1425 g H2

How many liters of oxygen gas can be produced at stp from the decomposition of 0.250 l of 3.00 m h2o2 in the reaction according
Wewaii [24]

the balanced chemical equation for the decomposition of H₂O₂ is as follows

2H₂O₂ ---> 2H₂O + O₂

stoichiometry of H₂O₂ to O₂ is 2:1

the number of moles of H₂O₂ decomposed is - 0.250 L x 3.00 mol/L = 0.75 mol

according to stoichiometry the number of O₂ moles is half the number of H₂O₂ moles decomposed

number of moles of O₂ - 0.75 mol / 2 = 0.375 mol

apply the ideal gas law equation to find the volume

PV = nRT

where P - standard pressure - 10⁵ Pa

V - volume

n - number of moles 0.375 mol

R - universal gas constant - 8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹

T - standard temperature - 273 K

substituting the values in the equation

10⁵ Pa x V = 0.375 mol x 8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹ x 273 K

V = 8.5 L

volume of O₂ gas is 8.5 L

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

b . Irradiated food is shown to not be radioactive.

Explanation:

If it can be proven that irradiated food is not radioactive, then it will effective dispute the idea that irradiated food are less safe to eat.

  • An irradiated food is one in which ionizing radiations have been employed to improve food quality.
  • Thus, bacteria and other food spoilers can be exterminated from the food.
  • Most irradiated food do not contain radiation and are fit for consumption.

If it can be proven, that this is true, then it will challenge the idea that irradiated foods are not safe.
