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.

By replacing hardware safety features with software controls in the therac-25 machine, aecl was able to?
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Therac-25, AECL was able to reduce costs by replacing hardware safety features with software controls.

the Therac-25 was a laptop-controlled radiation therapy machine produced by Atomic energy state Canada limited in 1982 after the Therac-6 and Therac-20 units. It was involved in at least six accidents between 1985 and 1987, in which patients were given massive overdoses state radiation.

The Therac-25 machine was a state-of-the-art linear accelerator developed by using the company Atomic strength Canada restricted (AECL) and a French company CGR to provide radiation treatment to cancer sufferers. The Therac-25 become the most computerized and complicated radiation therapy device state its time.

Rank the following fertilizers in decreasing order of mass percentage of nitrogen:
charle [14.2K]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

        NH₃ > NH₄NO₃ > (NH₄)₂HPO₄ > (NH₄)₂SO₄ > KNO₃ > (NH₄)H₂PO₄

<h3>Soution:</h3>

In (NH₄)₂HPO₄:

Mass of Nitrogen  =  N × 2  =  14 × 2  =  28 g.mol⁻¹

Molar Mass of (NH₄)₂HPO₄  =  132.06 g.mol⁻¹

Mass %age  =  Mass of N / M.Mass of (NH₄)₂HPO₄ × 100

Mass %age  =  28 g.mol⁻¹ / 132.06 g.mol⁻¹ × 100

Mass %age  =  21.20 %

In (NH₄)₂SO₄:

Mass of Nitrogen  =  N × 2  =  14 × 2  =  28 g.mol⁻¹

Molar Mass of (NH₄)₂SO₄  =  132.14 g.mol⁻¹

Mass %age  =  Mass of N / M.Mass of (NH₄)₂SO₄ × 100

Mass %age  =  28 g.mol⁻¹ / 132.14 g.mol⁻¹ × 100

Mass %age  =  21.18 %

In KNO₃:

Mass of Nitrogen  =  N × 1  =  14 × 1  =  14 g.mol⁻¹

Molar Mass of KNO₃  =  101.10 g.mol⁻¹

Mass %age  =  Mass of N / M.Mass of KNO₃ × 100

Mass %age  =  14 g.mol⁻¹ / 101.10 g.mol⁻¹ × 100

Mass %age  =  13.84 %

In (NH₄)H₂PO₄:

Mass of Nitrogen  =  N × 1  =  14 × 1  =  14 g.mol⁻¹

Molar Mass of (NH₄)H₂PO₄  =  115.03 g.mol⁻¹

Mass %age  =  Mass of N / M.Mass of (NH₄)H₂PO₄ × 100

Mass %age  =  14 g.mol⁻¹ / 115.03 g.mol⁻¹ × 100

Mass %age  =  12.17 %

In NH₃:

Mass of Nitrogen  =  N × 1  =  14 × 1  =  14 g.mol⁻¹

Molar Mass of NH₃  =  132.14 g.mol⁻¹

Mass %age  =  Mass of N / M.Mass of NH₃ × 100

Mass %age  =  14 g.mol⁻¹ / 17.03 g.mol⁻¹ × 100

Mass %age  =  82.20 %

In NH₄NO₃:

Mass of Nitrogen  =  N × 2  =  14 × 2  =  28 g.mol⁻¹

Molar Mass of NH₄NO₃  =  80.04 g.mol⁻¹

Mass %age  =  Mass of N / M.Mass of NH₄NO₃ × 100

Mass %age  =  28 g.mol⁻¹ / 80.04 g.mol⁻¹ × 100

Mass %age  =  34.98 %
