A) hemoglobin that has a high affinity for oxygen
B) hemoglobin that has a high affinity for carbon dioxide

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.

Sucrose is very soluble in water. at 25◦c, 211.4 grams of sucrose will dissolve in 100 g of water. given that the density of the
stiv31 [10]
Molarity of solution is mathematically expressed as,
M = \frac{x\text{weight of solute(g)}}{\text{Molecular weight X Volume of solution(l)}}

We know that volume = mass/density
Given: mass of solution = 100 g, Density = 1.34 g/ml
∴ volume = 100/1.34 = 88.49 ml = 0.08849 l

Also, we know that molecular weight of sucrose = 342.3 g/mol
 ∴M = \frac{x\text{211.4}}{\text{342.3 X 0.08849}}
       = 6.979 M

Thus, molarity of solution is 6.979 M

Will mark Brainlest ( molecular weight of ammonium sulphate)<br>step by step​
Bond [772]

Answer:

132 amu

Explanation:

ammonium sulphate is (NH_4)_{2} SO_4

to calculate molecular weight we need

atomic weight of the element of the compound

here ammonium sulphate is formed by two elements

2 nitrogen , 8 hydrogen , 1 sulphur amd 4 oxygen

atonomic number of nirogen is 14 , hydrogen is 1 , sulphur has 32 and oxygen has 16

so lets calculate molecular weight of ammonium sulphate

2*14 + 8*1 + 1*32 + 4*16

28 + 8 + 32 + 64

132 amu
