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

Use the portion of the periodic table shown below to answer the questions.
Bingel [31]

The two elements that have the same properties as sodium are potassium  and rubidium .

<h3>What is periodic table?</h3>

The periodic table is an arrangement of the elements in order of increasing atomic number.

From the list, the two elements that have the same properties as sodium are potassium  and rubidium .

Proton has an atomic number of 20 and a mass number of 40. The number of electrons is the same as the number of protons. Given that the atomic number is the number of protons present, we have 20 electrons and 20 protons.

Number of neutrons = Mass number  - Number of protons

= 40 - 20 = 20 neutrons

The compound 1-butene is modeled here. What would need to happen for molecules of this compound to transform into polybutene? A.
kompoz [17]
In order to form polymers, we need to chain molecules together. This involves making bonds between them.

Shifting H’s around doesn’t accomplish anything.

Forming more double bonds will have the opposite result, as it would make the molecules more stable and less likely to react with each other.

Adding oxygen to the molecule no longer makes it polybutene. That would likely result in the formation of some sort of ether, as hey would react to form a C-O-C Bond.

The only answer left is A. In order to form polyalkenes, we have to break a double bond so that it’s available to form more covalent bonds.

Hope this helps
