<h2>Answer </h2>

Option B, C, D - Tastes Bitter, Highly Reactive, Slippery Feel

<u>Explanation </u>

A base is described by a bitter taste, reactive and feels slippery. Option A is not correct this is because the base obtain curtain specific features. Following are the characteristics of a base is:

It possesses a bitter taste.

It is slippery.

Many bases react with acids and by reacting with acids it forms salts.

Bases turn red litmus paper blue.

Bases possess metal oxides or hydroxides.

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.
