Hemoglobin molecules in blood bind oxygen and carry it to cells, where it takes part in metabolism. The binding of oxygen hemoglobin(aq) + O2(aq) 88n hemoglobin O2(aq) is rst order in hemoglobin and rst order in dissolved oxygen, with a rate constant of 4 × 107 L mol 1 s 1. Calcu- late the initial rate at which oxygen will be bound to hemo- globin if the concentration of hemoglobin is 2 × 10 9 M and that of oxygen is 5 × 10 5 M.

Without wasting much of our time, Here is the correct question.

Hemoglobin molecules in blood bind oxygen and carry it to cells, where it takes part in metabolism. The binding of oxygen hemoglobin(aq) + O2(aq) -------> hemoglobin O2(aq) is first order in hemoglobin and first order in dissolved oxygen, with a rate constant of 4 × 10⁷ L mol⁻¹ s⁻¹. Calculate the initial rate at which oxygen will be bound to hemoglobin if the concentration of hemoglobin is 2 × 10⁻⁹ M and that of oxygen is 5 × 10⁻⁵M.

4 × 10⁻⁶ M s⁻¹

Explanation:

The equation for the reaction between Hemoglobin molecules in blood that binds with oxygen molecule can be represent by:

 +     --------->

Now, we are also being told to calculate only!, the  initial rate at which oxygen will be bound to hemoglobin.

So, If it is first order in hemoglobin and also first order in Oxygen molecule at the initial rate of the the reaction, therefore, the rate  for the reaction can be expressed as :

rate = k

Let's not forget that we are so given some parameters;

where

k (rate constant) = 4 × 10⁷ L mol⁻¹ s⁻¹

[ ] = 2 × 10⁻⁹ M

[    ]  =  5 × 10⁻⁵ M

Substituting our data given into the above rate formula, we have:

rate = (4 × 10⁷ L mol⁻¹ s⁻¹) × (2 × 10⁻⁹ M) × (5 × 10⁻⁵ M)

rate = 4 × 10⁻⁶ M s⁻¹     ( given that 1 M = 1 mol L⁻¹ )

∴ the initial rate at which oxygen will be bound to hemoglobin = 4 × 10⁻⁶ M s⁻¹

answer: option (b) is the correct answer.

explanation:

a covalent bond is formed by sharing of electrons. whereas polarity arises due to difference in electronegativity of two atoms.

therefore, more is the electronegativity of an atom which combines with the titanium, more readily it will induce a partial positive and negative charge.

thus, out of the given options fluorine is most electronegative and has an incomplete octet. therefore, it will readily combine with titanium to share the electrons and complete its octet.
