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:
a compound
Explanation:
A molecule with multiple atoms is compound like water it's made up of 1 oxygen and two hydrogen.
Moles of Zn: 26 / 65 = 0.4
Moles of S: 12.8 / 32 = 0.4
Molar ratio of Zn : S = 1 : 1
Empircal formula: ZnS
The answer is C
