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.

The picture shows two containers filled with a gas.
Irina18 [472]

The average kinetic energy of the gas particles is greater in container B because it has a higher temperature.

<h3>What is temperature?</h3>

The term temperature refers to a measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules of  body. This means that molecules that are at high temperature tend to move faster than the molecules that are at low temperature.

As such, the higher temperature of the molecules of the gas in B shows that the molecules in B are faster than those in A thus the correct statement is; "the average kinetic energy of the gas particles is greater in container B because it has a higher temperature."

Missing parts;

The picture shows two containers filled with a gas.

Two equally sized containers are shown with tight lids and each container has a thermometer. The container on the le is labeled A and the one on the right is labeled B. The thermometer inside container B shows a higher temperature than the thermometer inside container A.

Which statement is correct?

The average kinetic energy of the gas particles is greater in container A because it has a lower temperature.

The average kinetic energy of the gas particles is greater in container B because it has a higher temperature.

The gas particles in both containers have the same average kinetic energy because t have the same volume.

The gas particles in both containers have the same average kinetic energy because t have equal number of particles.
