What mineral that transports gases like oxygen around the body?
Hemoglobin transports gasses around the body. Hemoglobin contains iron and other minerals. It forms HbO8 and HbCO2 when bond with gasses.
Where is oxyhaemoglobin formed?
Oxyhaemoglobin is oxygenated blood. Impure blood is carried to the lungs where exchange of gases occurs in the alveoli of the lungs and the blood is purified as it gets oxygenated and becomes oxyhaemoblobin.
What is the symbol for carbaminohemoglobin?
HbCO2
What is the function of boric acid in Kjeldahl method?
Boric acid (H3BO3 or HBO2.H2O) is added (in excess) to form a stable and soluble complex with the steam-distilled ammoniagas:NH3(g) + HBO2.H2O(aq) --> NH3.HBO2(aq) + H2Owhich then can be titrated directly with 0.05M sulfuric acid till pH = 5:2 NH3.HBO2(aq) + H2SO4(aq) --> 2 NH4+ + HBO2.H2O(aq) + SO42-Note: Boric acid (HBO2.H2O) is a very weak acid pKa=9.3 and is not interfering with the acid/base titration of ammonia.

Why it is meta-borate ions?
Metaboric acid has the formula HBO2 and there are salts such as lithium metaborate with the formula LiBO2. HOWEVER this does not mean that there are discrete BO2- anions in the solid- there is a polymeric ion in the solid phase with the formula [(BO2)-]n . Borates form are a large group of compounds with a variety of ions ranging from BO33-, B2O54- a cyclic B3O6 3- ion and loads more - the wikipedia article is not good so don't use it.

Is the boric acid a tribasic acid?
No, boric acid is NOT tribasic, although its formula suggests so with formula H3BO3.It is a mono-basic, weak acid:H3BO3 + H2O
What the rationale for taking body temperature before doing ABG analysis?
ABG (Arterial Blood Gases) is a measurement of oxygen saturation in the arterial blood which supplies oxygenated blood to the body tissue and the extraction of oxygen from the hemoglobin at the capillary level. The amount of oxygen saturation of the hemoglobin (HbO2) depends on hemoglobin concentration and the arterial pressure often referred to as Hemoglobin / O2 dissociation curve. At lower body temperature, less oxygen is bounded to hemoglobin, while at higher temperature slightly more oxygen is bounded to hemoglobin. It is therefore important to know the body temperature when the ABG analysis is done so as to have a more meaningful interpretation of the result.
What elements are in boric acid?
Boric acid is a mono-protic weak acid and exists in the form of soluble colorless crystals or a white powder. Its chemical formula is HBO2.H2O stable also in solution, sometimes written as H3BO3 or B(OH)3, but it is certainly not a hydroxide base. Its stable sodium salt is called borax or sodium tetraborate: Na2B4O7
What is red blood cells and there function?
The RBC's (red blood corpulsces) contain haemoglobin which helps in transport of oxygen and other important things to various places in our body.. The combine oxygen with them and forms oxyhaemoglobin Hb + O2 = HbO2

What is the chemical formula for Boric Acid?
I've spent a great deal of money going to eye doctors and on medicines over the past 10 years trying to find a cure for my "leaky eyes." One tiny bottle of eyedrops was more than $100 and not covered by insurance. I used that for months with absolutely no change. The only thing that seems to give relief, though temporary, is the boric acid compress. My father used it, but since he's long gone, I could only guess at the measurements. I was using a half teaspoon per cup which didn't seem to do any harm and dried my eyes for short periods of time. Although I tend to believe mine is not conjunctivitis since my problem doesn't respond to topical or internal antibiotics or anything the MDs have prescribed, I did find a great deal of information at this web site: http://www.health911.com/remedies/rem_conju.htm At www.dryeyepain.com/Practical3-Vit_Compr.htm - 41k they list 1/8 teaspoon of boric acid powder to 1 cup sterile water.
How do the blood carbon dioxide levels and blood hydrogen ion and bicarbonate ion levels change while a child is holding her breath?
Carbon dioxide is transported in our blood to the lungs in one of three ways: 1. Dissolved in the plasma (10% of CO2 does this) 2. Attached to one of the amino groups on hemoglobin, to form a carbaminohemoglobin (HbCO2) (about 30% travel this way) 3. As bicarbonate in the plasma (about 60% go this way) I think your question relates most to the last option, so I'll just cover that. For CO2 to move to the lungs as bicarbonate, a few things have to happen at the tissues: -The CO2 enters the red blood cell -The red blood cell has carbonic anhydrase, an enzyme in it -The carbonic anhydrase allows the CO2 to join with water, which forms Carbonic acid. That formula is: CO2+H2O (in the presence of carbonic anhydrase) → H2CO3 -Carbonic acid is a weak acid. It breaks apart in the red blood cell to H+ and HCO3- (a hydrogen ion and bicarbonate) -the HCO3- will trade places with an ion of Chloride, which is outside the Red Blood Cell, floating around in the plasma. The Cl- and HCO3- are both negatively charged, so no charge change takes place. This is called the chloride shift. -So now the bicarbonate is in the plasma, and the H+ is in the RBC. The H+ will join with a molecule of Hemoglobin to form HHb or HHbO2 if an oxygen is attached. -When the RBC reaches the lungs, the bicarbonate shifts again with the chloride ion, and it rejoins again with the H+ to form H2CO3 carbonic acid -Under normal circumstances, in a breathing human, this carbonic acid will split into H2O and CO2, and the CO2 will be exhaled. Your question however is about a child who is holding her breath. The transport of ions moves in the same way, but once in the lungs, the CO2 will not be able to be exhaled. So her blood CO2 levels will increase, which will cause her blood to become more acidic. She will be able to hold her breath consciously for a short time only; if she passes out, the chemoreceptors located in the medulla oblongata and the pons will detect a decrease in pH, and will increase breathing rate to restore homeostasis.
