Introduction to Chemistry
- The transport of O2 in the blood is carried out by hemoglobin. Carbon monoxide (CO) can interfere with O2 transport because hemoglobin has a stronger affinity for CO than for O2. If CO is present, normal uptake of O2 is prevented, depriving the body of needed O2. Using the molecular orbital model, write the electron configurations for CO and for O2. From your configurations, give two property differences between CO and O2.arrow_forward1.Which compound is used in respirators since it reacts with CO2(g) to produce O2(g)? a.RbO2 b.CsO2 c.KO2 d.MgO 2.Which of the following ion has the MOST number of unpaired electrons in the 3d orbital? a.Cu2+ b.Zn2+ c.Fe3+ d.Cr3+arrow_forwardA) Explain why BrF4 with a negative charge on top is square planar, whereas BF4 with negative charge on top is tetrahedral? B) How could you expect H_X_H bond to vary in the series H2O , H2Se? Explain your answerarrow_forward
- Will Fe, Fe 2+, or Fe 3+ react more favorably with CO? Explain your reasoning.arrow_forwardCalculate the enthalpies of formation, Δ?∘f,ΔHf∘, of group 1 chloride compounds from their elements by using the Born–Haber cycle.

- Using an MO energy-level diagram, would you expect F2 to have a lower or higher first ionization energy than atomic fluorine? Why?arrow_forwardThe ionization energy of O2 is smaller than the ionization energy of atomic O; the opposite is true for the ionization energies of N2 and atomic N. Explain this behavior in terms of the molecular orbital energy diagrams of O2 and N2.arrow_forwardSuppose you carry out the following reaction of ammonia and boron trifluoride in the laboratory. (a) What is the geometry of the boron atom in BF3? In H3NBF3? (b) What is the hybridization of the boron atom in the two compounds? (c) Considering the structures and bonding of NH3 and BF3, why do you expect the nitrogen on NH3 to donate an electron pair to the B atom of BF3? (d) BF3 also reacts readily with water. Based on the ammonia reaction above, speculate on how water can interact with BF3.arrow_forward
