A saturated is one in which the atoms are linked by single bonds. :)
2 C₇H₆O₂ + 15 O₂ → 14 CO₂ + 6 H₂O
<u>Explanation:</u>
C₇H₆O₂ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O
First we have to balance the O- atoms, we have to put 6 in front of water so there are 12 H atoms on RHS, to balance it we need to put 2 in front of C₇H₆O₂, and so we have 14 C - atoms on LHS, 28 + 6 = 34 O - atoms on RHS, so we have to put 15 in front of Oxygen in LHS, so that each and every atom in the equation gets balanced now. The balanced equation is, 2 C₇H₆O₂ + 15 O₂ → 14 CO₂ + 6 H₂O
Scientists prevent the nonpolar perfluorocarbons
in Oxygent from separating from the water by adding surfactant.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The collection of oxygen from lungs and transporting it all those tissues present in the human body and taking carbon dioxide back to lungs are the main functions of the hemoglobin. But, instead of this hemoglobin, When perfluorocarbons
, a nonpolar chemical is used to perform the same function for the oxygen transportation, the nonpolar chemical may not mix well with the water when this perfluorocarbons is taken through a water-based saline
.
For this purpose an addition of a chemical called surfactant is done. This will enhance the chemical bonding between the non polar chemical and water. The perfluorocarbons spreads into some droplets and gets coated with this bonding substance. Thus it gets attached to the water.
