Carbon monoxide (CO) and cyanide ion (CN") are toxic to biological systems because they bind much more strongly to the iron center (Fe2+) center of the hemoglobin protein which is responsible for oxygen transport throughout the body. Explain the phenomenon using one or more of the following inter- and/or intramolecular forces: hydrogen bonding, ion-dipole, dipole-dipole, ion-induced dipole, ion-ion (ionic), dispersion forces, dipole- induced dipole.

Why does NaI have a higher melting point than I₂? Explain in terms of intermolecular forces. Select the single best answer. Because NaI is a solid, and I, is a liquid. O Because NaI can form hydrogen bonds, and I cannot. O Because NaI is soluble in water, and I2₂ is not. Because NaI is an ionic compound, and the ion-ion attractions are much stronger than the dispersion forces between the I molecules. O
The tungsten filament in an incandescent lightbulb ordinarily operates at a temperature of about 2500°C. At this temperature, the vapor pressure of solid tungsten is 7.0 × 10-9 atm. Estimate the number of gaseous tungsten atoms per cubic centimeter under these conditions.
Air conditioners dry the air while they cool the air. Suppose an air conditioner is used to cool a room that is 7.16 mx 10.60 m x 2.17 m when the outside temperature is 37 °C. At this temperature, the vapor pressure of water is 47.1 torr. The partial pressure of water in the air is 85.5% of the vapor pressure of water. How much water, in grams, is removed from the air each time the air from the room is cycled through the air conditioner? mass of H₂O: g A certain substance has a heat of vaporization of 33.26 kJ/mol. At what Kelvin temperature will the vapor pressure be 4.00 times higher than it was at 307 K? K
20. What is the relationship between intermolecular forces (IMFS) and the physical properties of solids and liquids?
