What else can I help you with?
What gas blocks oxygen from combing with hemoglobin in the lungs?
carbon monoxide (CO)
Which indecules does hemoglobin readity combine?
Hemoglobin readily combines with oxygen (O₂) in the lungs, where oxygen concentration is high, allowing it to transport oxygen to tissues throughout the body. It can also bind to carbon dioxide (CO₂) and hydrogen ions (H⁺), facilitating the transport of carbon dioxide back to the lungs for exhalation. Additionally, hemoglobin can interact with carbon monoxide (CO), which can bind more tightly than oxygen, posing a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.
What is the complex salts?
A complex salt is the salt of one or more complex ions, the complex part can be cationic or anionic or both such as Ca3[Co(Cl)6]2 the complex part behaves as an anion [Co(NH3)6]Cl3 the complex part behaves as a cation [Co(NH3)6][Co(Cl)6] the both of the anionic and cationic parts of the are formed by complex ions
What gas found in cigarette smoke blocks the transport of oxygen by the hemoglobin in the blood?
CO (carbon monoxide). It binds to the same sites on hemoglobin that oxygen would, except with a much greater affinity than oxygen does. Think of hemoglobin as a bus transporting oxygen from the lungs to the peripheral tissues, and think of CO as the guy who takes oxygen's seat so that he can't ride the bus. CO is also the chemical that kills people in house fires from smoke inhalation.
What is the effect carbon monoxide in human lungs?
The harmful effects of carbon monoxide (CO) does not manifest itself in the lungs. Rather CO acts as a gas similar to oxygen, it diffuses through the lungs tissue as normal and binds to hemoglobin, which is normally used to transport oxygen around the body by binding to it and carrying it around. However, this is where CO becomes harmful. CO enters the bloodstream and binds to hemoglobin with a far greater affinity that oxygen, in essence inactivating the hemoglobin molecule. Therefore hemoglobin is unable to properly transport oxygen since it is already bound up by CO and hypoxia sets in quickly. There is no way to "cure" CO poisoning in the way to chemically unbind CO from hemoglobin, this is why individuals with CO poisoning must be removed from the CO environment and given 100% oxygen to breath, to allow the slow process of CO dissociation from hemoglobin to occur.
What is the equation for carbon monoxide poisoning?
CO Carbon monoxide is combined with hemoglobin and carboxyhemoglobin is formed; this compound block the diffusion of oxygen in blood.
Which chemical in tobacco smoke binds to hemoglobin causing red blood cells to carry less then their normal load of oxygen?
CO (carbon monoxide). It binds to the same sites on hemoglobin that oxygen would, except with a much greater affinity than oxygen does. Think of hemoglobin as a bus transporting oxygen from the lungs to the peripheral tissues, and think of CO as the guy who takes oxygen's seat so that he can't ride the bus. CO is also the chemical that kills people in house fires from smoke inhalation.
What is the chemical formula for the complex ion formed when cobalt(III) chloride hexahydrate is dissolved in water?
The chemical formula for the complex ion formed when cobalt(III) chloride hexahydrate is dissolved in water is Co(H2O)63.
Why the CO have high affinity greater than oxygen?
This is not the main reason:The molecular mass of CO is 28 a.m.u while that of O2 is 32 a.m.u therefore the rate of diffusion of CO is higher than O2 and it enter fast into respiratory track and lungs and causes the deficiency of oxygen.Added:(The more important reason is):CO is about 200 times more reactive to 'ferro'-hemoglobin than O2, so it can hardly be replaced by the available excess of oxygen in air, thus preventing the life-essential O2-transfer to parts of the body like brains and hart & lung muscles.(Cf.

How many time greater is the affinity of hemoglobin for carbon monoxide greater than the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen?
The affinity of hemoglobin for CO is roughly 20,000 times greater than that of oxygen in vitro. In vivo, the affinity of hemoglobin for CO is roughly 200-225 greater than that of oxygen. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- O2 has stronger bond than CO. Therefore, the oxygen in CO loves the iron in the hemoglobin as iron ends with two electrons which complete the 6 electrons in the oxygen. In vivo, the affinity of hemglobin for CO is about 153 from 141x153/141. by amin elsersawi
How hemoglobin act as a buffer?
Hemoglobin acts as a buffer by binding to hydrogen ions (H⁺) and carbon dioxide (CO₂), helping to maintain the pH balance in the blood. When hemoglobin releases oxygen in tissues, it can pick up H⁺ ions, reducing acidity. Conversely, in the lungs, it releases H⁺ ions as it binds to oxygen, which helps to increase pH. This ability to modulate H⁺ concentration makes hemoglobin an important component of the blood's buffering system.
What can bond to hemoglobin and therefore deprive the body of oxygen?
CO
