Ep-15 why is carbon monoxide especially dangerous?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Rzqust [24]2 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.

If the density of an object is 5.2g/cm3, and it’s volume is 3.7 cm3, what is it’s mass?
lord [1]
Here's the equation you use: Density = mass/volume 

1) 5.2g/cm^3 = m/3.7cm^3 

2) m = 5.2g/cm^3 x 3.7cm^3 

3) m = 19.24g 

You can check the answer by plugging it in 

19.24g/3.7cm^3 
= 5.2g/cm^3

What differences do you notice when you heat up the brick and the iron at same temperature?
Tpy6a [65]

After heating the brick and the iron, it is observed that the brick heats up quicker and the brick releases energy quicker.

<h3>What is thermal energy?</h3>

Thermal energy (also called heat energy) is produced when a rise in temperature causes atoms and molecules to move faster and collide with each other.

The iron has more energy than the brick even though it is at the same temperature. That means that the iron must have more particles than the brick.

Iron and brick are both solids and have the same volume, so the difference in total energy must be due to atomic composition.
