Hemoglobin has a much greater affinity for carbon monoxide than oxygen. In a hyperbaric chamber (containing high levels of oxygen) can treat carbon monoxide poisoning, by displacing carbon monoxide from Hemoglobin competitively.
Hemoglobin has a much greater affinity for carbon monoxide than oxygen. This is because, a coordinate bond is formed with Carbon monoxide and Haem structure of the hemoglobin.
Carbon monoxide with Hemoglobin is called as Carboxy haemoglobin.
Presence of oxygen displaces the Carbon monoxide with Hemoglobin that is formed due to poisoning.
Hyperbaric chamber is a chamber which contains pure oxygen in a chamber. The atmospheric pressure is kept about three to four times than the normal, such that the replacement of Carbon monoxide from Haem can occur as fast as possible since this reduces the half life of the Carboxy haemoglobin.
It is advisable not to treat Carbon monoxide poisoning yourself.
Hyperbaric oxygen is used to treat the following conditions as well:
- Infections
- Wounds
- Air bubble is blood

Answer:
Water is the solvent
Both the ethanol and the hydrogen peroxide are the solute
Explanation:
Both the hydrogen peroxide and ethanol are sisobable in water.
There are 0.05 moles of ethanol.
1 litreof water contains 55.55 moles of water.
0.2 g of hydrogen peroxide contains 0.2/34 = 0.0059 moles of hydrogen peroxide (the 34 is the molar mass of hydrogen peroxide).
Since there are more moles of water, water becomes the solvent and the other two liquids dissolve in it.
