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:
trans-1,3-pentadiene is more stable than 1,4-pentadiene due to presence of a conjugated double bond.
Explanation:
Here,
H(hydrogenated pdt.) is same for both 1,4-pentadiene and 1,3-pentadiene as they both produce pentane after hydrogenation
H(diene) depends on stability of diene.
More stable a diene, lesser will be it's H(diene) value (more neagtive).
trans-1,3-pentadiene is more stable than 1,4-pentadiene due to presence of a conjugated double bond.
Hence, is higher (less negative) for trans-1,3-pentadiene
Answer:
Group 18th
Explanation:
The group 18th of periodic table which is composed of Noble gases mainly was missing from the Mendeleev's periodic table. The reason for this is that Noble gases are least reactive, therefore, it was difficult to predict such elements which do not react with other elements.
Answer: option b. Neutral organic compounds
Explanation:
