Answer: The given statement is TRUE.
Explanation:
An equilibrium reaction is one in which rate of forward reaction is equal to the rate of backward reaction.
Equilibrium constant is defined as the ratio of the product of the concentration of products to the product of the concentration of reactants each raised to their stochiometric coefficient.
For example for the given equilibrium reaction;
![K_{eq}=\frac{[H_2]^2[O_2]}{[H_2O]^2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=K_%7Beq%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5BH_2%5D%5E2%5BO_2%5D%7D%7B%5BH_2O%5D%5E2%7D)
Thus the given statement that in calculating the equilibrium constant for a reaction, the coefficients of the chemical equation are used as exponents for the factors in the equilibrium expression is True.
Answer:
Although chlorine itself usually does not cause environmental harm, it combines rapidly to form chemicals such as dioxins that pollute water, contaminate fish and transfer to humans and larger animals that eat the fish.
Explanation:
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
The statements that are True are;
- Upon binding a molecule of oxygen, Hb undergoes a conformational change that makes the binding of subsequent O2 molecules easier.
- The conformational change induced in Hb upon binding oxygen is the result of a small movement (0.2 Å) of the iron cation in the center of heme.
- Site-directed mutagenesis studies have indicated that the cooperativity of O2 binding in Hb is attributable to the movement of the F helix in Hb.
<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
- Hemoglobin is a key pigment in the blood that transports oxygen gas to all the tissues in the body. It is made up of two types of chains; that is two alpha chains and two beta chains.
- in its deoxygenated state hemoglobin has a low affinity for oxygen compared to myoglobin. When oxygen is bound to the first subunit of hemoglobin it leads to subtle changes to the quaternary structure of the protein. This in turn makes it easier for a subsequent molecule of oxygen to bind to the next subunit.
