Hemoglobin has a much greater affinity for carbon monoxide than oxygen. In a hyperbaric chamber (containing high levels of oxygen) can treat carbon monoxide poisoning, by displacing carbon monoxide from Hemoglobin competitively.

Hemoglobin has a much greater affinity for carbon monoxide than oxygen. This is because, a coordinate bond is formed with Carbon monoxide and Haem structure of the hemoglobin.

Carbon monoxide with Hemoglobin is called as Carboxy haemoglobin.

Presence of oxygen displaces the Carbon monoxide with Hemoglobin that is formed due to poisoning.

Hyperbaric chamber is a chamber which contains pure oxygen in a chamber. The atmospheric pressure is kept about three to four times than the normal, such that the replacement of Carbon monoxide from Haem can occur as fast as possible since this reduces the half life of the Carboxy haemoglobin.

It is advisable not to treat Carbon monoxide poisoning yourself.

Hyperbaric oxygen is used to treat the following conditions as well:

  • Infections
  • Wounds
  • Air bubble is blood

An analytical chemist weighs out 0.281g of an unknown diprotic acid into a 250mL volumetric flask and dilutes to the mark with d
Helen [10]

Answer:

166 g/mol

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the neutralization reaction

H₂A + 2 NaOH ⇒ Na₂A + 2 H₂O

Step 2: Calculate the reacting moles of NaOH

48.3 mL of 0.0700 M NaOH react.

0.0483 L × 0.0700 mol/L = 3.38 × 10⁻³ mol

Step 3: Calculate the reacting moles of H₂A

The molar ratio of H₂A to NaOH is 1:2. The reacting moles of H₂A are 1/2 × 3.38 × 10⁻³ mol = 1.69 × 10⁻³ mol.

Step 4: Calculate the molar mass of H₂A

1.69 × 10⁻³ moles of H₂A have a mass of 0.281 g. The molar mass of H₂A is:

M = 0.281 g / 1.69 × 10⁻³ mol = 166 g/mol

Suppose the mass of a jelly bean is less than the mass of a gum drop.
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Since it is given that the mass of a jelly bean is less than the mass of a gum drop.

So, when we counted out 10 of each kind of candy and measured the mass of each kind of candy, the mass of the jellybeans would be less than the mass of the gumdrops.

This is because mass of jelly bean is less and even if we take take or more jelly beans then also their total mass will remain less than the total mass of same number of gum drops

If an exothermic chemical reaction occurs, the surroundings become warmer. Where does this energy come from?
Elena L [17]

It comes to from the chemical reaction itself. Exothermic reaction release heat because the energy level of the products is lower than that of the reactants.  Therefore, the net enthalpy change of the reaction is negative (-), meaning heat or light (or any other form of energy) is released into the environment. An example of an exothermic reaction is the combustion of fuel.

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Protein Concentration is 2.82mg/L

Explanation:

According to Beer-Lambert's Law, Absorbance is directly proportional to the concentration.

However, the concentration of a solution can be determined from a calibration curve, in which Absorbance is plotted on the y-axis and the Concentration on the x-axis.

Plotting the best line, the equation of line is used

y = mx + c

where y is absorbance = 0.150

           m is slope = 0.0163

            x is concentration

             c is intercept = 0.104

inserting the values from the question

y = mx + c

0.150 = 0.0163x + 0.104

0.0163x = 0.150 - 0.104

0.0163x = 0.046

Divide both sides by 0.0163

0.0163x/0.0163 = 0.046/0.0163

x = 2.82

Concentration of protein = 2.82 mg/L
