. Hemoglobin (Hb) and oxygen gas form a complex (HbO2) that carries oxygen throughout the human body. Unfortunately, carbon mono

xide also binds to hemoglobin so that an equilibrium is established. Carbon monoxide poisoning occurs when the concentration of HbO2 in the blood is reduced. HbO2 CO HbCO O2 The first aid for a person suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning is to (1) remove them to an area of fresh air, and (2) administer oxygen. Using the principles of equilibrium, explain how each of these helps to restore the HbO2 concentration.

Answer:

1. Removing them to an area of fresh air. This helps to prevents further poisoning by the carbon monoxide and increase the amount of oxygen entering into the body. This will help to reduce the concentration of carbon monoxide binding oxygen

2. Administering pure oxygen goes a long way to enhance ventilation and increase the oxygen saturation to 100%. This will help to overcome the effect of the carbon monoxide and promote more hemoglobin binding

mezya [45]

Answer:

Option (B)

Explanation:

Felsic magma refers to those magma that are comprised of more than 65% of silica content and are highly made up lighter elements like oxygen, silicon,  sodium, aluminum, potassium, and are light-colored in comparison to the basic magma. Due to its high silica content, these are high viscosity magma and flows at a much slower rate. The felsic magma crystallizes at a relatively low-temperature rocks and the rocks that are formed from this type of magma have a specific gravity of less than 3.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

The ΔHvap of a certain compound is 49.09 kJ·mol–1 and its ΔSvap is 53.69 J·mol–1·K–1. What is the boiling point of this compound
rusak2 [61]
Hey there !

<span>Convert Joule to KJ :
</span>
1 j ---------------- 0.001 kj
53.69 j ----------- Kj

Kj = 53.69 * 0.001

=>  0.05369 Kj

T = ΔH / <span>ΔS

T = 49.09 / 0.05369

T = 914.32ºC</span>
