Ep-15 why is carbon monoxide especially dangerous?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Rzqust [24]3 years ago
8 0

Carbon monoxide is dangerous because it binds with hemoglobin in the blood.


Hemoglobin is made up of proteins that bind to iron atoms. The structure of the protein facilitates loose binding of oxygen. On other hand, Carbon monoxide binds very strongly to the iron in hemoglobin. Once carbon monoxide is bonded to hemoglobin, it is very difficult to release. This, eventually results in  blood losing it its ability to transport oxygen. Hence, the person will suffocate. Due to this, CO is dangerous.

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

Kc = 8.05x10⁻³

Explanation:

This is the equilibrium:

                 2NH₃(g)   ⇄     N₂(g)     +     3H₂(g)

Initially       0.0733

React         0.0733α          α/2                3/2α

Eq     0.0733 - 0.0733α    α/2                0.103

We introduced 0.0733 moles of ammonia, initially. So in the reaction "α" amount react, as the ratio is 2:1, and 2:3, we can know the moles that formed products.

Now we were told that in equilibrum we have a [H₂] of 0.103, so this data can help us to calculate α.

3/2α = 0.103

α = 0.103 . 2/3 ⇒ 0.0686

So, concentration in equilibrium are

NH₃ = 0.0733 - 0.0733 . 0.0686 = 0.0682

N₂ = 0.0686/2 = 0.0343

So this moles, are in a volume of 1L, so they are molar concentrations.

Let's make Kc expression:

Kc= [N₂] . [H₂]³ / [NH₃]²

Kc = 0.0343 . 0.103³ / 0.0682² = 8.05x10⁻³
