Carbon dioxide affects O2binding to Hb by: a) CO2forming iron carbonate with the heme-iron atom. b) Hb competing with carbonic a

nhydride for CO2. c) directly binding to heme-Fe in the oxygen binding site of hemoglobin. d) forming HCO3- that combines with H+ to increase CO2binding. e) forming H+ HCO3- where the H is an antagonist to oxygen binding to Hb.

Answer:

The correct answer is c) directly binding to heme Fe in the oxygen binding site of the hemoglobin.

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide is the waste product of cellular respiration.Carbon dioxide bind to hemoglobin to form carbaminohemoglobin in which the hemoglobin exist as T state or Tensed state.

        Carbon dioxide interact with the oxygen binding site of hemoglobin thus decreasing the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen.

A gas has a volume of 5.0 L at a pressure of 50 KPa. What happens to the volume when the pressure is increased to 125?
Alexeev081 [22]
The volume becomes two. You have to use the equation P1 x V1 = P2 x V2 
P is pressure and V is volume.
P1 = 50     P2 = 125
V1 = 5       V2 = v (we don't know what it is)
Then set up the equation:
50 times 5 = 125 times v
250 = 125v
the divide both sides by 125 and isolate v
2 = v
Therefore the volume is decreased to 2.
Also, Boyle's Law explains this too: Volume and pressure are inversely related, This means that when one goes up the other goes down (ie when pressure increases volume decreases and vice versa). Becuase the pressure went up from 50 KPa tp 125 KPa the volume had to decrease.

Ammonium cyanide is a salt formed by hydrogen cyanide and ammonia. Ammonia is a weak base and hydrogen cyanide is a weak acid. 
NH₄CN + H₂O ⇒ NH₃ + HCN 

NH₄⁺ + H₂O -----> H₃O⁺ + NH₃

CN⁻ + H₂O -----> HCN + OH⁻ 

Although both compounds are weak electrolytes, NH₃ is somewhat stronger base than HCN is a strong acid, so the solution reacts alkaline. We can prove this using Ka and Kb values:

Ka(HCN) = 4.9 x × 10⁻¹⁰

Kb(NH₃) = 1.8 × 10⁻⁵<span>
Kw= </span>1.0 × 10⁻¹⁴

Let's first calculate Ka for NH₄⁺: 
Ka(NH₄⁺) x Kb(NH₃<span>) = pKw

</span>Ka(NH₄⁺) = Kw/Kb(NH₃) = 5.6 x 10⁻¹⁰

Then, Kb for CN⁻:

Kb(CN⁻) x Ka(HCN) = pKw

Kb(CN⁻) = Kw/Ka(HCN) = 2 x 10⁻⁵

 
From this, we can see that the acid constant NH4⁺ is much lower than the base constant of CN⁻, which will say that the solution of NH₄CN will react slightly alkaline because of the higher presence of hydroxyl ions in solution.

A piece of glass is immersed in a liquid. It proceeds to float on the liquid's surface. This shows that the density of the glass
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer: b) Less dense

Explanation:

Differences in density is one reason objects float or sink.

An object more dense than the fluid in which it is immersed will sink, while objects less dense than the fluid in which it is immersed will float to the surface.

But objects floats at constant level if the density is equal to the density of the fluid in which it is immersed; it neither rises nor sinks in the fluid in this case.
