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.

kolezko [41]

Answer:

Independent variable: DIFFERENT TEMPERATURE

Explanation:

The independent variable of an experiment is the variable that the experimenter changes or manipulates in order to effect an outcome or response in the measured variable/dependent variable.

In this experiment, a scientist wants to determine how temperature affects photosynthesis. He sets up the experiment by adding 20ml of water at different temperatures to three test tubes. Hence, the independent or experimental variable is the DIFFERENT TEMPERATURES GIVEN TO EACH PLANTS IN THE TEST TUBE because it is what the experimenter changes in order to effect a measurable outcome i.e. oxygen released in each balloon as a result of photosynthesis, which is the dependent variable

<h3>Answer:</h3>

                    3.2 moles of Oxygen

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

                        Acetic Acid having chemical formula C₂H₄O₂ and structural formula attached below is the second member of carboxylic family in organic compounds. It is commonly used as vinegar<em> i.e</em>. a mixture containing 5 % Acetic acid and 95 % water.

As shown in structure 1 mole of Acetic acid contains 2 moles of Carbon atoms, 4 moles of Hydrogen atoms and 2 moles of Oxygen atoms respectively. Hence, the number of moles of Oxygen atoms contained by acetic acid containing 3.2 moles of Carbon is calculated as,

                      2 moles of C accompany  =  2 moles of O

So,

               3.2 moles of C will accompany  =  X moles of O

Solving for X,

                     X  =  (3.2 mol C × 2 mol O) ÷ 2 mol C

                      X =  3.2 mol of Oxygen
