Hemoglobin in your blood does not use elemental iron. It uses iron in the form of Fe2+(aq).
valina [46]

Explanation:

Balanced chemical reaction equation will be as follows.

     2Fe^{2+}(aq) + 2H^{+}(aq) \rightleftharpoons 2Fe^{3+}(aq) + H_{2}(g)

In human body, the neutral iron changes into Fe^{2+}(aq) cation. There will be an oxidation-half reaction and a reduction-half reaction. Equations for this reaction are as follows.

Oxidation: 2Fe^{2+}(aq) \rightleftharpoons 2Fe^{3+}(aq) + 2e^{-}[/tex] .... (1)

Reduction: 2H^{+}(aq) + 2e^{-} \rightleftharpoons H_{2}(g) ...... (2)

On adding both equation (1) and (2), the overall reaction equation will be as follows.

     2Fe^{2+}(aq) + 2H^{+}(aq) \rightleftharpoons 2Fe^{3+}(aq) + H_{2}(g)

Therefore, neutral iron is a part of Heme - b group of Hemoglobin and in an aqueous solution it dissolutes as a part of Heme group. Hence, then it becomes an Fe^{2+} cation.

What occurs when potassium reacts with chlorine to form potassium chloride
nordsb [41]
Basically since potassium chloride is an ionic compound as it consists of a metal and a nonmetal, the potassium atom will donate one of its valence electrons to chlorine that will accept it and as a result produce oppositely charged ions, where the K + ion and the Cl - ion will attract forming an ionic bond. The compound that results is potassium chloride.

Wat are the five assumption of kinetic therory of gases​
il63 [147K]

Answer:

The five assumption of Kinetic molecular theory are given below.

Explanation:

Kinetic molecular theory of gasses stated that,

1) Gases consist of large number of smaller particles which are distance apart from each others.

2) The gas molecules collide with each other and also with wall of container and this collision is elastic.

3) Gas molecules are in continuous random motion and posses kinetic energy.

4) The forces of attraction between gas molecules are very small and considered negligible.

5) The temperature of gas is directly proportional to average kinetic energy of gas molecules.
