-3*3+(+1)*12+(+5)+(-2)*4=-9+12+5-8 =0 -the sum of oxidation number in the molecule should be equal zero.

Explanation:

Hello!

Let's solve this!

In a salt, we must take into account that the sum of the oxidation numbers is equal to zero since the molecule is stable.

In this case the molecule is a salt and is (NH4) 3PO4

N = -3

H = + 1 (there are four atoms in total is +4)

(NH4) 3 = (- 3 + 4) * 3 = + 3

P = + 5

O = -2 (since there are 4 atoms in total it is -8)

PO4 = + 5-8 = -3

The total is: -3 + 3 = 0

We verify that the charges give a total of zero, so that our calculation is well done.

The density of water at 400C is 0.992 g/mL What is the volume of 27.0 g of water at this temperature?

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

Volume of water at this temperature is 27.2 mL

Explanation:

We know that $density=\frac{mass}{volume}$

Here density of water is 0.992 g/mL

Here mass of water is 27.0 g

So $volume=\frac{mass}{density}$

= $\frac{27.0g}{0.992g/mL}$

= 27.2 mL

Which statement below about contrasting Hb and Mb is FALSE?

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

C. Hb binds O2 more tightly than Mb.

Explanation:

Hb and Mb are both oxygen carrier protiens which contain the heme group. Hb has 4 heme units in 1 moleucle which work via coperative effect. On the other hand, Mb has only one heme unit.

From above theory, statement A and B are correct.

Although the heme group of the Mb is identical to those of Hb, Mb has a higher affinity for carrying oxygen than hemoglobin.

Hence, Statement C is wrong.

Thats why the function of hemoglobin is to transport oxygen and that of myoglobin is to store oxygen.

When a curve is plotted between oxygen accepted and the pressure of the oxygen, Hb shows sigmoidal, whereas Mb shows hyperbolic oxygen saturation curves. The statement D is correct.

Bohr effect and various factors decribe the statement : Hb-oxygen binding is dependent on physiological changes in pH, whereas Mb-oxygen binding is not. The statement E is also correct.
