Answer:

C. Hb binds O2 more tightly than Mb.

Explanation:

Hb and Mb are both oxygen carrier protiens which contain the heme group. Hb has 4 heme units in 1 moleucle which work via coperative effect. On the other hand, Mb has only one heme unit.

From above theory, statement A and B are correct.

Although the heme group of the Mb is identical to those of Hb, Mb has a higher affinity for carrying oxygen than hemoglobin.

Hence, Statement C is wrong.

Thats why the function of hemoglobin is to transport oxygen and that of myoglobin is to store oxygen.

When a curve is plotted between oxygen accepted and the pressure of the oxygen, Hb shows sigmoidal, whereas Mb shows hyperbolic oxygen saturation curves. The statement D is correct.

Bohr effect and various factors decribe the statement : Hb-oxygen binding is dependent on physiological changes in pH, whereas Mb-oxygen binding is not. The statement E is also correct.

Calculate the mass, in grams, of cucl2 (mw = 134.452 g/mol) required to prepare 250.0 ml of a 6.11 % w/v cu2 (mw = 63.546 g/mol)

Sever21 [200]

6.11% w/v of Cu2+ implies that 6.11 g of Cu2+ is present in 100 ml of the solution

therefore, 250 ml of the solution would have: 250 ml * 6.11 g/100 ml = 15.275 g

# moles of Cu2+ = 15.275 g/63.546 g mole-1 = 0.2404 moles

1 mole of CuCl2 contain 1 mole of Cu2+ ion

Hence, 0.2404 moles of Cu2+ would correspond to 0.2404 moles of CuCl2

Molar mass of CuCl2 = 134.452 g/mole

The mass of CuCl2 required = 0.2404 moles * 134.452 g/mole = 32.32 grams

What pressure will be produced when 2.0 moles of N2 gas is heated to 68oC in a container that holds 1.25 of gas?

Stella [2.4K]

The pressure of the nitrogen gas produced is determined as 44.77 atm.

<h3>What is the pressure of the Nitrogen gas?</h3>

The pressure of the nitrogen gas is determined from ideal gas equation, as shown below;

PV = nRT

P = nRT/V

where;

n is number of moles = 2 moles
R is ideal gas constant = 0.08205 L.atm/mol.K
T is temperature = 68⁰C = 68 + 273 = 341 K
V is volume = 1.25 L

P = (2 x 0.08205 x 341)/(1.25)

P = 44.77 atm.

How is the Law of Conservation of Mass, Matter, Phases of Matter, and Physical/Chemical Changes similar/connected to one another

kogti [31]

Answer:

Solids, liquids, and gases are made of tiny particles called atoms and molecules. In a solid, the particles are very attracted to each other. They are close together and vibrate in position but don't move past one another. In a liquid, the particles are attracted to each other but not as much as they are in a solid.

the formula of calcium oxide is CaO. What is the formula of the ionic compound containing calium abd sulfate ions

sineoko [7]

Answer:

$CaS$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since calcium's oxidation state when forming ionic bonds is +2 and sulfur's oxidation state when bonding those bonds is -2, for the required formula we write:

$Ca^{2+}S^{2-}$

Now, since they have the same charge number, we infer the ionic compound formed when they bond is calcium sulfide:

$CaS$

Best regards!
