Which form of co2 transport accounts for the greatest amount of co2 transported in blood?

1 answer:

5 0

The greatest amount of CO2 transported in blood is in the form of bicarbonate in plasma. Most of the carbon dioxide is converted into bicarbonate with the help of carbonic anhydrase which is an enzyme. This enzyme converts carborn dioxide and water into bicarbonate and hydrogen ions. The bicarbonate in plasma accounts for about 70% of CO2.

Draw the structure of the major organic product isolated from the reaction of 1-hexyne with sodium amide in liquid ammonia follo

77julia77 [94]

Answer:check explanation and attached file/picture

Explanation:

Alkynes are hydrocarbons and they are very acidic because of hybridization effect(the more acidic the s-character is, the more acidic it is going to be).

The reaction of 1-hexyne with sodium amide in liquid ammonia is a form of deprotonation 'reaction' to form acetylide. Due to the acidic nature of the terminal hydrogen atom, terminal alkynes do form metallic derivatives by the replacement of the terminal hydrogens. The equation of Reaction is given below.

C6H10 + NaNH2( in liquidNH3) ------------> C6H9Na + H-NH2.

The acetylide is a bae and a very good nucleophile.

The reaction is then followed by the addition of 1-bromobutane. This reaction is used for the production of longer chain alkynes. The equation of Reaction is attached in the picture.

Which compound will precipitate when solutions of iron(II) acetate, Fe(C2H3O2)2, and potassium iodide (KI) are mixed?

oksano4ka [1.4K]

FeI2 (B). Group 1 elements (K) dissociate completely, so KCH3CO2 will become K+ and CH3CO2- . Fe2+ and I- don't dissociate in water, so you get FeI2(s) precipitate.

The density of acetic acid is 1.05 g/mL. What is the volume of 327 g of acetic acid

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

$311.43\ \text{mL}$

Explanation:

$\rho$ = Density of acetic acid = $1.05\ \text{g/mL}$

$m$ = Mass of acetic acid = $327\ \text{g}$

$V$ = Volume

Density is given by

$\rho=\dfrac{m}{V}\\\Rightarrow V=\dfrac{m}{\rho}\\\Rightarrow V=\dfrac{327}{1.05}\\\Rightarrow V=311.43\ \text{mL}$

The volume of acetic acid is $311.43\ \text{mL}$ .

Write a balanced chemical equation, including states of matter, for the combustion of gaseous benzene, c6h6.

snow_tiger [21]

Almost all hydrocarbon 'burn' reactions involve oxygen; it's by far the most reactive substance in air.

Hydrocarbon combustions always involve 
[some hydrocarbon] + oxygen --> carbon dioxide + steam. 

C6H6(l) + O2 (g)--> CO2 (g)+ H2O (g)

Balance carbon, six on each side: 
C6H6(l) + O2 (g)--> 6CO2 (g)+ H2O (g)

Balance hydrogen, six on each side: 
C6H6(l) + O2 (g)--> 6CO2(g) + 3H2O (g)

Now, we have fifteen oxygens on the right and O2 on the left. 
Two ways to deal with that. We can use a fraction: 
C6H6 (l)+ (15/2)O2 (g)--> 6CO2 (g)+ 3H2O (g)

Or, if you prefer to have whole number coefficients, double everything 
to get rid of the fraction: 
2C6H6 (l)+ 15O2 (g)--> 12CO2 (g)+ 6H2O (g)

With the SATP states thrown in... 
C6H6(l) + (15/2)O2(g) --> 6CO2(g) + 3H2O(g)
