Hemoglobin has a much greater affinity for carbon monoxide than oxygen. In a hyperbaric chamber (containing high levels of oxygen) can treat carbon monoxide poisoning, by displacing carbon monoxide from Hemoglobin competitively.
Hemoglobin has a much greater affinity for carbon monoxide than oxygen. This is because, a coordinate bond is formed with Carbon monoxide and Haem structure of the hemoglobin.
Carbon monoxide with Hemoglobin is called as Carboxy haemoglobin.
Presence of oxygen displaces the Carbon monoxide with Hemoglobin that is formed due to poisoning.
Hyperbaric chamber is a chamber which contains pure oxygen in a chamber. The atmospheric pressure is kept about three to four times than the normal, such that the replacement of Carbon monoxide from Haem can occur as fast as possible since this reduces the half life of the Carboxy haemoglobin.
It is advisable not to treat Carbon monoxide poisoning yourself.
Hyperbaric oxygen is used to treat the following conditions as well:
- Infections
- Wounds
- Air bubble is blood

The car's velocity after 5s : 10 m/s
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
velocity=v=72 km/h=20 m/s
time=t = 5 s
acceleration=a = -2 m/s²
Required
velocity after 5s
Solution
Straight motion changes with constant acceleration
vf=final velocity
vi = initial velocity
Input the value :
The car is decelerating (acceleration is negative) so that its speed decreases
Answer:
The combined gas law states that the pressure of a gas is inversely related to the volume and directly related to the temperature. If temperature is held constant, the equation is reduced to Boyle's law. Therefore, if you decrease the pressure of a fixed amount of gas, its volume will increase.
Explanation:
Answer:
The solar wind is a stream of charged particles released from the upper atmosphere of the Sun, called the corona. ... Its particles can escape the Sun's gravity because of their high energy resulting from the high temperature of the corona, which in turn is a result of the coronal magnetic field.
Explanation:
At STP (standard temperature and pressure conditions), 1 mol of any gas occupies 22.4 L
This rule is applied to O₂
22.4 L volume occupied by 1 mol
Therefore 83.4 L occupied by - 1/ 22.4 x 83.4 = 3.72 mol
stoichiometry of O₂ to H₂O is 1:2
then the number of moles of water produced - 3.72 mol x 2= 7.44 mol
mass of water produced - 7.44 mol x 18.01 g/mol = 134.1 g
correct answer is D
