When bar-headed geese fly at very high altitudes (possibly over Mount Everest!), they breathe very thin air where the partial pr

essure of oxygen is very low compared to that at sea level. Which of the following adaptions would help the geese efficiently exchange gases when flying at high altitudes? ______
A) hemoglobin that has a high affinity for oxygen
B) hemoglobin that has a high affinity for carbon dioxide
C) hemoglobin that has a low affinity for carbon dioxide
D) hemoglobin that has a low affinity for oxygen

Answer:hemoglobin that has a high affinity for oxygen

Explanation:

Haemoglobin is the oxygen carrying pigment in blood. It performs this function because of the presence of iron at the center of the haemoglobin which coordinates reversibly with oxygen thereby aiding delivery of oxygen to cells. At high altitudes where air is thinner and the partial pressure of oxygen is lower than sea level, haemoglobin must develop a greater affinity for oxygen in order to carry the scarce oxygen to cells.

Answer:

This process is known as doping. It can be done by adding either of two types of impurity to the crystal. (A) By adding electron rich impurities i.e., group 15 elements to the silicon and germanium of group 14 elements.

What mass of melamine, c3n3(nh2)3, will be obtained from 113.0 kg of urea, co(nh2)2, if the yield of the overall reaction is 73.
creativ13 [48]

The balanced equation for the reaction is:

6 HNCO(l) → C3N3(NH2)3(l) + 3 CO2(g)

Convert amount of urea from kg to moles

Molar Mass of urea = 60.06 g/mol so, 113 kg urea contains

113 kg / 60.06 = 1.88 mol urea

From balanced equation 6 moles of urea yields only 1 melamine, so divide the moles of urea by 6. 

1.88 / 6 = 0.313 kmol melamine

Now multiply 0.313 with molar mass of melamine that is 126 g/mol

126 x 0.313 = 39.438 kg

Yield of overall reaction is 73% so multiply 39.438 with 0.73

<span>39.438 x 0.73 = 28.799 kg is the answer</span>

How many moles of h2o would be produced from 1.75 moles of o2 with unlimited c3h6
miv72 [106K]
1.75 (moles O2) × 6 (moles H2O) ÷ 9 (moles O2) = 1.17 (moles H2O)

You have to convert moles of O2 into moles of H2O so it's the number of moles you start with (1.75 O2) × the number of moles from the element you want (6 H20), then ÷ by the number of moles that the element that you already have (9 O2).

Nitrogen dioxide is used industrially to produce nitric acid, but it contributes to acid rain and photochemical smog. What volum
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

35.41 L

Explanation:

Given, Volume of Copper = 4.84 cm³

Density = 8.95 g/cm³

Considering the expression for density as:

Density=\frac {Mass}{Volume}

So,

So, Mass= Density  Volume = 8.95 g/cm³  4.84 cm³ = 43.318 g

Mass of copper = 43.318 g

Molar mass of copper = 63.546 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

Moles= \frac{43.318\ g}{63.546\ g/mol}

Moles of copper = 0.6817 moles

Given, Volume of nitric acid solution = 227 mL = 227 cm³

Density = 1.42 g/cm³

Considering the expression for density as:

Density=\frac {Mass}{Volume}

So,

So, Mass= Density  Volume = 1.42 g/cm³  227 cm³ = 322.34 g

Also, Nitric acid is 68.0 % by mass. So,  

Mass of nitric acid = \frac {68}{100}\times 322.34\ g = 219.1912 g

Molar mass of nitric acid = 63.01 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

Moles= \frac{219.1912\ g}{63.01\ g/mol}

Moles of nitric acid = 3.4786 moles

According to the reaction,  

Cu_{(s)}+4HNO_3_{(aq)}\rightarrow Cu(NO_3)_2_{(aq)} + 2NO_2_{(g)} + 2H_2O_{(l)}

1 mole of copper react with 4 moles of nitric acid

Thus,  

0.6817 moles of copper react with 4*0.6817 moles of nitric acid

Moles of nitric acid required = 2.7268 moles

Available moles of nitric acid = 3.4786 moles

Limiting reagent is the one which is present in small amount. Thus, nitric acid is present in large amount, copper is the limiting reagent.

The formation of the product is governed by the limiting reagent. So,

1 mole of copper on reaction forms 2 moles of nitrogen dioxide

So,

0.6817 mole of copper on reaction forms 2*0.6817 moles of nitrogen dioxide

Moles of nitrogen dioxide = 1.3634 moles

Given:  

Pressure = 724 torr

The conversion of P(torr) to P(atm) is shown below:

P(torr)=\frac {1}{760}\times P(atm)

So,  

Pressure = 724 / 760 atm = 0.9526 atm

Temperature = 28.2 °C

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15  

So,  

T₁ = (28.2 + 273.15) K = 301.35 K  

Using ideal gas equation as:

PV=nRT

where,  

P is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

T is the temperature  

R is Gas constant having value = 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol

Applying the equation as:

0.9526 atm × V = 1.3634 mol × 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol × 301.35 K  

⇒V = 35.41 L
