Hemoglobin in your blood does not use elemental iron. It uses iron in the form of Fe2+(aq).

Explanation:

Balanced chemical reaction equation will be as follows.

     2Fe^{2+}(aq) + 2H^{+}(aq) \rightleftharpoons 2Fe^{3+}(aq) + H_{2}(g)

In human body, the neutral iron changes into Fe^{2+}(aq) cation. There will be an oxidation-half reaction and a reduction-half reaction. Equations for this reaction are as follows.

Oxidation: 2Fe^{2+}(aq) \rightleftharpoons 2Fe^{3+}(aq) + 2e^{-}[/tex] .... (1)

Reduction: 2H^{+}(aq) + 2e^{-} \rightleftharpoons H_{2}(g) ...... (2)

On adding both equation (1) and (2), the overall reaction equation will be as follows.

     2Fe^{2+}(aq) + 2H^{+}(aq) \rightleftharpoons 2Fe^{3+}(aq) + H_{2}(g)

Therefore, neutral iron is a part of Heme - b group of Hemoglobin and in an aqueous solution it dissolutes as a part of Heme group. Hence, then it becomes an Fe^{2+} cation.

Express the frequency in inverse seconds. n=5-->n=1
Natalija [7]

The frequencies expressed in inverse seconds are 5 s⁻¹  and 1 s⁻¹.

<h3>What is frequency?</h3>

Frequency is the number of complete cycles in a second made by a wave.

F = 1/T

F = n/t

<h3>When n = 5</h3>

F = 5/s =  5 s⁻¹ = 5Hz

<h3>When n = 1</h3>

F = 1/s =  1 s⁻¹ = 1Hz

As the pendulum moves from point 2 to point 3, what happens to its mechanical energy?potential energy is converted to kinetic en
ahrayia [7]

Answer: Potential energy is converted to kinetic energy and back again.

Explanation:At points 1 and 3, the pendulum stops moving, and its mechanical energy is purely potential. At point 2, the pendulum is moving the fastest, and its mechanical energy is purely kinetic. Therefore, as the pendulum moves from point 1 to point 3, its potential energy is first converted to kinetic energy, then back to potential.
