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.

Calculate the standard emf for the following reaction:
krek1111 [17]
In order to solve this, we need to know the standard cell potentials of the half reaction from the given overall reaction.
The half reactions with their standard cell potentials are:
<span>2ClO−3(aq) + 12H+(aq) + 10e- = Cl2(g) + 6H2O(l) 
</span><span>E = +1.47 
</span>
<span>Br(l) + 2e- = 2Br- 
</span><span>E = +1.065
</span>
We solve for the standard emf by subtracting the standard emf of the oxidation from the reducation, so:
1.47 - 1.065 = 0.405 V

How many hydrogen atoms are in 105 g of water?
mel-nik [20]
Moles of water atoms = mass/molecular weight = 105/18 = 5.83 mol. Number of moles of hydrogen in water = 2 x moles of water = 11.66. Number of H atoms in water = moles of hydrogen x 6.02 x 10^23 = 7.019 x 10^24 ~ 7.02 x 10^24 atoms. Hope this helps.

The temperature of nitrogen is unknown when the gas occupies 100.0 mL at 99.10 kPa. If the gas is known to occupy 74.2 mL at 133
laiz [17]

Answer:

The unknown temperature is 304.7K

Explanation:

V1 = 100mL = 100*10^-3L

P1 = 99.10kPa = 99.10*10³Pa

V2 = 74.2mL = 74.2*10^-3L

P2 = 133.7kPa = 133.7*10³Pa

T2 = 305K

T1 = ?

From combined gas equation,

(P1 * V1) / T1 = (P2 * V2) / T2

Solving for T1,

T1 = (P1 * V1 * T2) / (P2 * V2)

T1 = (99.10*10³ * 100*10^-3 * 305) / (133.7*10³ * 74.2*10^-3)

T1 = 3022550 / 9920.54

T1 = 304.67K

T1 = 304.7K

Write a word equation for 2ZnS(s)+3O2(g) -&gt; 2ZnS(s) + 2SO3(g)
hjlf

2ZnS(s)+3O2(g) -> 2Zns(s) + 2SO3(g)

the above given equation is unbalanced as it contains 4 moles of sulphur in the output but in the input there are only two aoms of sulphur so to balance the equation we will write the equation as given under

balanced equation is

2ZnS(s)+3O2(g) -> 2Zn(s) + 2SO3(g)


In words:

When 2 moles of solid zinc sulfide reacts with 3 moles of oxygen gas gives 2 moles of solid zinc  and 2 moles of sulphur trioxide gas.
