Answer:

1 billion molecules O₂

Explanation:

From my research, a human red blood cell contains approximately 270 million hemoglobin molecules.    

A hemoglobin molecule contains four heme groups, <em>each of which has an iron ion forming a coordination complex that carries every dioxygen molecule. </em>Therefore for each hemoglobin molecule, we will have 4 dioxygen molecules. The heme groups are responsible for the transport of every dioxygen and other diatomic gases.                    

Hence, the number of O₂ molecules in a red blood cell saturated with 100% will be:                

\frac{270 \cdot10^{6} hemoglobine molecules}{1 red blood cell} \cdot \frac{4 heme group}{1 hemoglobine molecule} \cdot \frac{1 O_{2} molecules}{1 heme group} = 1 \cdot 10^{9} O_{2} \frac{molecules}{red blood cell}

So, the correct answer is 1 billion of O₂ molecules.  

Have a nice day!

Whatever is on one side of the equation needs to be the same as the other. So K2CrO4+NaHSO3+H2O=NaHSO4+KOH+Cr(OH)3 you need to balance the equation between the = to make a balanced equation.

it takes 513 kj to remove a mole of electrons from the atoms at the surface of a piece of metal. how much energy does it take to
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

The right solution is "8.5\times 10^{-19} \ joule".

Explanation:

As we know,

1 mole electron = 6.023\times 10^{23} \ no. \ of \ electrons

Total energy = 513 \ KJ

                     = 513\times 1000 \ joule

For single electron,

The amount of energy will be:

= \frac{513\times 1000}{(6.023\times 10^{23})}

= 8.5\times 10^{-19} \ joule

In bullet points: explain the difference between thermal energy, heat and temperature.
sergeinik [125]
  • Thermal Energy- is the energy that comes from heat. This heat is generated by the movement of tiny particles within an object. The faster these particles move, the more heat is generated.

  • Heat-energy is the result of the movement of tiny particles called atoms, molecules or ions in solids, liquids and gases. Heat energy can be transferred from one object to another. The transfer or flow due to the difference in temperature between the two objects.

  • Temperature- is a measure of how hot or cold something is; specifically, a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object, which is a type of energy associated with motion.
