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

Chemistry

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.

How is it possible for there to be more than one kind of atom of the same element?
tiny-mole [99]

They are called isotopes.

Isotopes have the same number of electrons and protons in their unionized state. They differ in the number of neutrons. The first and simplest example is hydrogen.


The most common hydrogen has

1 proton

1 electron and

0 neutrons


It has 2 cousins

1 proton

1 electron

1 neutron

And

1 proton

1 electron

2 neutrons.


Most elements have some differences in the number of neutrons present in their nuclei. Cesium and Xenon have the most number of isotopes. Each has 36. You wonder how the atoms are held together.

Three common gaseous compounds of nitrogen and oxygen of different elementary composition are known: (A) laughing gas containing
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

Please find how these data prove the law of multiple proportions below

Explanation:

The law of multiple proportions was proposed by an English chemist called John Dalton. The law states that when two elements combine and to form more than one compound. The weights/masses of the second element in the two compounds, which combines with a fixed ratio of the first element, is in a simple whole number ratio.

In this question, Nitrogen is said to combine with oxygen to give three different compounds as follows:

A) laughing gas containing 63.65% nitrogen i.e. 0.6365g

This means that the mass of oxygen will be (1-0.6365) = 0.3635g

B) colorless gas containing 46.68% nitrogen i.e. 0.4668g

This means that the mass of oxygen will be 0.5332g

C) brown toxic gas containing 30.45% nitrogen i.e. 0.3045g

This means that the mass of oxygen will be 0.6955g

The ratios of oxygen in the three compounds is therefore:

0.3635: 0.5332: 0.6955

Divide this ratio by the smallest number (0.3635)

0.3635/0.3635 = 1

0.5332/0.3635 = 1.467

0.6955/0.3635 = 1.913

Multiply this ratio by 2, we have:

2: 2.9 : 3.8

Hence, the simple whole number ratio is 2:3:4.

This proves the law of multiple proportions that oxygen is in simple whole number ratio in the three different compounds.
