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.

What is the temperature of 0.645 mole of neon in a 2.00 L vessel at 4.68 atm?
storchak [24]

Answer:

—96.03°C

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing out the information provided by the question. This includes:

Number of mole (n) = 0.645 mole

Volume (V) = 2.00 L

Pressure (P) = 4.68 atm

Temperature (T) =?

Recall: that the gas constant = 0.082atm.L/Kmol

With the ideal gas equation PV = nRT, the temperature of the gas can be obtained as follow:

PV = nRT

4.68 x 2 = 0.645 x 0.082 x T

Divide both side 0.645 x 0.082

T = (4.68 x 2) /(0.645 x 0.082)

T = 176.97 K

Now, We can also express the temperature obtained in celsius as shown below:

Temperature (celsius) = temperature (Kelvin) - 273

Temperature (celsius) = 176.97 - 273

Temperature (celsius) = —96.03°C

The temperature of the Neon gas is

—96.03°C
