Answer:

0.8988

Explanation:

To calculate the fractional saturation of hemoglobin , the formula used is

YO_2=\frac{(pO_2)^n}{(p50)^n+(pO_2)^n}

now putting the values

YO_2= \frac{58^3}{28^3+58^3}

= \frac{195112}{21952+195112}

=0.8988

Therefore, fractional saturation of hemoglobin= 0.8988

where

YO_2= fractional saturation of hemoglobin

pO_2= partial pressure of oxygen

p50= is the pO_2 at which hemoglobin is 50% saturated

A sample of an unknown gas at STP has a density of 0.630 gram per liter. What is the gram molecular mass of this gas?
jeyben [28]
<span>STP means standard temperature and pressure at 0°C (273K) and 1 atm (atmosphere). The density of the unknown gas is 0.63 gram per liter. The deal gas equation is PV = nRT. The n is the numer of moles and can be represented as mass of the gas, m, divided by the molar mass, c.  so we have,</span>  

PV = nRT
PV = (m/c)RT
Since the density is d = m/V
Pc = (m/V)RT
Pc = dRT
c = drT/P  

substitute the values into the equation,
c = [(0.63g/L)(0.08206 L-atm/mol-K)(273K)]/(1atm)
<u>c = 14.11 g/mol</u>

3. What is the easiest way to create electron configurations?
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

To calculate an electron configuration, divide the periodic table into sections to represent the atomic orbitals, the regions where electrons are contained. Groups one and two are the s-block, three through 12 represent the d-block, 13 to 18 are the p-block and the two rows at the bottom are the f-block.Explanation:

A person walking covers 5.20 m in 10.4 s. How fast is the person moving?
salantis [7]

Answer:

<h2>0.50 m/s</h2><h2></h2>

Explanation:

Velocity = distance over time

where distance = 5.20 m

                   time = 10.4 s.

velocity = <u>  5.20  m </u>

                  10.4 s.

            = 0.50 m/s

A gas occupies a volume of 10 liters at a pressure of 0.5 atm. What is the pressure if the volume increases to 25.0 L? *
Rudik [331]

Answer:

0.2atm

Explanation:

By Boyle's law

P1V1=P2V2

0.5 x 10 = P2 x 25

therefore, P2= 0.2atm
