- Cases of accidental carbon monoxide poisoning occur when someone builds a charcoal fire in an enclosed area. Assuming help arrives in time, what would be the most effective treatment: placing the victim outdoors in fresh air or administering pure oxygen? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardDetermine the concentrations (in mole fraction) of all species in the exhaust from the incomplete combustion (90% combustion) of butane (C4H10). Assume 50% excess air with respect to complete combustion is the source for the oxygen. Air composition is 79 mol% N2 and 21 mol% O2.arrow_forwardCompare between with examples and structures if present ▪ CO and CO2 Hb (Connection)arrow_forward
- Several tablespoons of Vitamin C are placed in an empty bottle containing only air. The botle is then securely closed with an air-tight lid or cap. If the air contains 18.9 % oxygen by volume and the volume of the air in the bottle is 2.5 litres, how much Vitamin C will be consumed? Express your answer to the nearest milligram of Vitamin C (no decimal places and no decimal point) and do not include any units in your resonse. Note: The actual amount of Vitamin C placed in the bottle at the start is not important here. It just shows that there is an excess of Vitamin C present. The volume of the Vitamin C has no effect on the volume of the air in the bottle. We will also assume that the reaction proceeds until all the oxygen in the air is consumed.arrow_forwardThe enzymes catalase combine two hydrogen peroxide molecules(H20+H2O) to make two molecules of water 2H2O).

- How many atoms make up one carbon dioxide (CO2) molecule? How many different types of atoms are found in one carbon dioxide molecule? This question has two parts and requires two separate answers.arrow_forwardHow many miles of oxygen can be carried by each molecule of Hb?arrow_forwardI have always enjoyed eating tuna fish. Unfortunately, a study of the mercury content of canned tuna in 2010 found that chunk white tuna contains 0.6 ppm Hg and chunk light tuna contains 0.14 ppm. (S. L. Gerstenberger, A. Martinson, and J. L. Kramer, Environ. Toxicol. Chem. 2010, 29, 237.) The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recommends no more than 0.1 mg Hg/kg body weight per day. I weigh 68 kg. How often may I eat a can containing 6 ounces (1 lb 5 16 oz) of chunk white tuna so that I do not average more than 0.1 mg Hg/kg body weight per day? If I switch to chunk light tuna, how often may I eat one can?arrow_forward
- How many liters of dry hydrogen gas, measured at 798 mmHg and 21C, will be released by the decomposition of 230 mL of H20 at 1.42atm and 30C? 2 H20 (g) → 2 H2 (g) + O2 (g) Answer to 3 decimal places. Your Answer: Answer unitsarrow_forwardw i 1) Destruction of the ozone layer takes place when its component ozone (03) is converted O3 + 0202 into oxygen gas (O2) as shown by the following chemical equation. Although degradation of O3 happens naturally, there are some man-made substances that cause this process to take pla ce at a rate which is harmful to the environment. One such substance is chlorofluorocarbon or CFC. In the presence of ultraviolet (UV) radiation, a de chlorine (Cl) atom from CFC reacts with O3 and converts it to 02 at a faster rate. This is Cl + O3 → Clo + O2 Clo + 0- Cl + O2 shown by the 2 equations below. In this process, the chlorine atom acts as 2) Pepsin is an enzyme present in gastric juice. In the stomach, it catalyzes the breaking ! down of proteins into shorter polypeptides. Therefore, proteins are of pepsin. the 3) The unstable compound that is formed when the disaccharide maltose binds with the active site of the enzyme maltase is called 4) The binding of ATP with the enzyme pyruvate kinase…arrow_forwardWhich of the following conditions DOES NOT cause a “right shift” in the oxygen dissociation curve?
