If a red blood cell is 100% saturated, how many molecules of O2 are bound to it?1 billion molecules of O24 molecules of O2250 mi

kondor19780726 [428]

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, each of which has an iron ion forming a coordination complex that carries every dioxygen molecule. 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!

Which of the following phase changes only occurs in solids possessing vapor pressures above atmospheric pressure and at ambient

GuDViN [60]

Answer: The phase change process in which solids gets converted to gases is sublimation.

Explanation:

For the given options:

Option a: Condensation

It is a type of process in which phase change occurs from gaseous state to liquid state at constant temperature.

$Gas\rightleftharpoons Liquid$

Option b: Melting

It is a type of process in which phase change occurs from solid state to liquid state at constant temperature.

$Solid\rightleftharpoons Liquid$

Option c: Sublimation

It is a type of process in which phase change occurs from solid state to gaseous state without passing through the liquid state at constant temperature.

$Solid\rightleftharpoons Gas$

Option d: Deposition

It is a type of process in which phase change occurs from gaseous state to solid state without passing through the liquid state at constant temperature.

$Gas\rightleftharpoons Solid$

Hence, the phase change process in which solids gets converted to gases is sublimation.

The rate constant for a certain reaction is k = 4.70×10−3 s−1 . If the initial reactant concentration was 0.700 M, what will the

Lynna [10]

Answer:

Therefore the concentration of the reactant after 4.00 minutes will be 0.686M.

Explanation:

The unit of k is s⁻¹.

The order of the reaction = first order.

First order reaction: A first order reaction is a reaction in which the rate of reaction depends only the value of the concentration of the reactant.

$-\frac{d[A]}{dt} =kt$

[A] = the concentration of the reactant at time t

k= rate constant

t= time

Here k= 4.70×10⁻³ s⁻¹

t= 4.00

[A₀] = initial concentration of reactant = 0.700 M

$-\frac{d[A]}{dt} =kt$

$\Rightarrow -\frac{d[A]}{[A]}=kdt$

Integrating both sides

$\Rightarrow\int -\frac{d[A]}{[A]}=\int kdt$

⇒ -ln[A] = kt +c

When t=0 , [A] =[A₀]

-ln[A₀] = k.0 + c

⇒c= -ln[A₀]

Therefore

-ln[A] = kt - ln[A₀]

Putting the value of k, [A₀] and t

- ln[A] =4.70×10⁻³×4 -ln (0.70)

⇒-ln[A]= 0.375

⇒[A] = 0.686

Therefore the concentration of the reactant after 4.00 minutes will be 0.686M.
