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

One radioactive isotope of calcium has an atomic mass of 47,how many neutrons are in the calcium -47 nucleus
jekas [21]

Answer: 27 neutrons

Explanation:

Recall that the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom = Atomic number.

Hence, Calcium with mass number 47 and atomic number 20 will have 20 protons

Therefore, since Mass number = number of protons + neutrons

47 = 20 + neutrons

Neutrons = 47 - 20 = 27

Thus, there are 27 neutrons in radioactive calcium nucleus.

PLEASE HELP!!!

When you are collecting DNA, you could be looking for a few different things. A few examples could be skin cells, strands of hair, or possibly even a fingernail. Anything that comes from a person, including blood or saliva can be potential DNA that could help investigators to link a person back to a crime.

Investigators do not need a warrant for analyzing crime scenes due to the fact of the dangers of the fire. You must work quickly because accelerants tend to evaporate within days, sometimes hours. It is also important to note that finding the origin of the fire is very important, to make sure it won't be reignited. Debris is usually cleaned away quickly to ensure health and safety issues.

The point of origin of a fire is the lowest point, since fire burns upwards.

High explosive: Ignite almost instantly, like dynamite and TNT. Two different types are primary and secondary.

<em>Primary: easily ignited, very sensitive to heat and friction. often used to ignite other explosives. </em>

<em>Secondary: much less sensitive to heat and friction, might be ignited using other explosive materials. TNT and dynamite are both secondary. </em>

Low explosive: decompose slowly and include black and smokeless powder. They are the most common type of explosives, and are readily available.
