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.

How many moles of nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) can be produced from 9.65 mole of Fluorine gas (F2)
user100 [1]

Answer:

6.43 moles of NF₃.

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:

N₂ + 3F₂ —> 2NF₃

From the balanced equation above,

3 moles of F₂ reacted to produce 2 moles of NF₃.

Finally, we shall determine the number of mole of nitrogen trifluoride (NF₃) produced by the reaction of 9.65 moles of Fluorine gas (F₂). This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

3 moles of F₂ reacted to produce 2 moles of NF₃.

Therefore, 9.65 moles of F₂ will react to to produce = (9.65 × 2)/3 = 6.43 moles of NF₃.

Thus, 6.43 moles of NF₃ were obtained from the reaction.

How do atoms make molecules?
bazaltina [42]

Explanation:

Atoms can join together - they form bonds together - to make MOLECULES. ... For example, a hydrogen atom forms one bond, an oxygen atom forms two, and carbon forms four bonds. Look at that molecule of water again - each hydrogen has one bond, and the oxygen in the middle has two bonds. Molecules can be much bigger.
