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

What change in volume results if 50 mL of gas is cooled from 30 C to 4 C
11111nata11111 [884]

The relation between the volume of the gas and the temperature is established by Charles's law. With a decrease in the temperature, the volume decreases by 45.7 mL. Thus, option c is correct.

<h3>What is Charle's law?</h3>

Charle's law states the direct relation present between the temperature and the volume of the gas. The law is given as:

V₁ ÷ T₁ = V₂ ÷ T₂

Given,

V₁ = 50 mL

T₁ = 303.15 K

T₂ = 277.15 K

Substituting the value the final volume is calculated as:

50 ÷ 303.15 = V₂ ÷ 277.15

V₂ = (50 × 277.15) ÷ 303.15

= 45.71 mL

Therefore, option c. 45.7 mL is the final volume.

1. Unas de las formas de producir nitrógeno gaseoso (N2) es mediante la oxidación de metilamina (CH3NH2), tal como se muestra en
Maslowich

Answer:

a) 4CH₃NH₂ + 9O₂ ⇄  4CO₂ + 10H₂O + 2N₂    

b) m = 5,043 g

c) % = 69,4 %

Explanation:

a) La ecuación balanceada es la siguiente:

4CH₃NH₂ + 9O₂ ⇄  4CO₂ + 10H₂O + 2N₂              

En el balanceo, se tiene en la relación estequiométrica que 4 moles de metilamina reacciona con 9 moles de oxígeno para producir 4 moles de dióxido de carbono, 10 moles de agua y 2 moles de nitrógeno.  

b) Para determinar la masa de nitrógeno se debe calcular primero el reactivo limitante:

n_{O_{2}} = \frac{m}{M} = \frac{25,6 g}{31,99 g/mol} = 0,800 moles      

n_{CH_{3}NH_{2}} = \frac{4}{9}*0,800 moles = 0,356 moles

De la ecuación anterior se tiene que la cantidad de moles de metilamina necesaria para reaccionar con 0,800 moles de oxígeno es 0,356 moles, y la cantidad de moles iniciales de metilamina es 0,5 moles, por lo tanto el reactivo limitante es el oxígeno.

Ahora, podemos calcular la masa de nitrógeno producida:

n_{N_{2}} = \frac{2}{9}*n_{O_{2}} = \frac{2}{9}*0,8 moles = 0,18 moles

m_{N_{2}} = n_{N_{2}}*M = 0,18 moles*28,014 g/mol = 5,043 g

Por lo tanto, se pueden producir 5,043 g de nitrógeno.

c) El redimiento de la reacción se puede calcular usando la siguiente fórmula:

\% = \frac{R_{r}}{R_{T}}*100

<u>Donde</u>:

R_{r}: es el rendimiento real

R_{T}: es el rendimiento teórico

\% = \frac{3,5}{5,043}*100 = 69,4

Entonces, el procentaje de rendimiento de la reacción es 69,4%.
