Carbon monoxide blocks oxygen in the blood. Hence, option A is correct.
<h3>What is combustion?</h3>
Combustion is a chemical process or a reaction between Fuel (Hydrocarbon) and Oxygen.
During incomplete combustion part of the carbon is not completely oxidized producing carbon monoxide (CO). Incomplete combustion uses fuel inefficiently and carbon monoxide is released.
Carbon monoxide gas diffuses rapidly across the pulmonary capillary membrane, binding to haemoglobin with an affinity 200 times that of oxygen to form carboxyhemoglobin. By displacing oxygen, CO decreases the oxygen-carrying capacity and oxygen delivery to tissues, causing marked cellular hypoxia and acidosis.
Hence, option A is correct.

Answer:
During the fractional distillation of crude oil: heated crude oil enters a tall fractionating column , which is hot at the bottom and gets cooler towards the top. vapours from the oil rise through the column. vapours condense when they become cool enough. liquids are led out of the column at different heights.
Answer:
An -ite or -ate ending means a polyatomic ion that includes oxygen is in the formula.
ate = one more O than -ite
Explanation:
Example:
NO2 is nitrite
NO3 is nitrate
You can see that the molecules are made of the same elements, however they have more or less of one of the elements (i.e. oxygen).
Answer:
I believe it is 1771 divided by 4
Explanation:
The periodic table of elements puts in order all of the known chemical elements in an instructive arrangement. Elements are organized from top to bottom and left to right in order of increasing atomic number. The order coexists with the increasing atomic mass in general. Moreover, the most massive elements are found at the bottom right part of the periodic table.
