Ep-15 why is carbon monoxide especially dangerous?

Chemistry

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.

After completing an experiment to determine gravimetrically the percentage of water in a hydrate, a student reported a value of
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

b) The dehydrated sample absorbed moisture after heating

Explanation:

a) Strong initial heating caused some of the hydrate sample to splatter out.

This will result in a higher percent of water than the real one, because you assume in the calculation that the splattered sample was only water (which in not true).

b) The dehydrated sample absorbed moisture after heating.

Usually inorganic salts may absorbed moisture from the atmosphere so this will explain the 13% difference between calculated water percent the real content of water in the hydrate.

c) The amount of the hydrate sample used was too small.

It will create some errors but they do not create a difference of 13% difference as stated in the problem.

d) The crucible was not heated to constant mass before use.

Here the error is small.

e) Excess heating caused the dehydrated sample to decompose.

Usually the inorganic compounds are stable in the temperature range of this kind of experiments. If you have an organic compound which retain water molecules you may decompose the sample forming volatile compounds which will leave crucible so the error will be quite high.

A container initially holds 5.67 x 10^-2 mol of propane and has a volume of V1. The volume of the container was increased by add
Brut [27]

Answer:

Initial volume of the container (V1) = 1.27 L (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Number of mol (n1) = 5.67 x 10⁻²

Number of mol (n2) = (5.67 +2.95) x 10⁻² = 8.62 x 10⁻²

New volume (V2) = 1.93 L

Find:

Initial volume of the container (V1)

Computation:

Using Avogadro's law

V1 / n1 = V2 / n2

V1 / 5.67 x 10⁻² = 1.93 / 8.62 x 10⁻²

V1 = 10.9431 / 8.62

Initial volume of the container (V1) = 1.2695

Initial volume of the container (V1) = 1.27 L (Approx)
