How does oxygen exchanges between maternal and fetal blood in a pregnant woman? |
|
Answer» 1. In a pregnant women, the oxygen supply for the fetus is provided by the maternal blood in the placenta where the blood vessels of both mother and fetus arc in close proximity. Both fetal and maternal hemoglobin binds to oxygen reversibly as follows. Hb(mother) + O2 ⇌ HbO2(mother) Hb(fetus) + O2 ⇌ HbO2(fetus) 2. In the above two equilibrium, the equilibrium constant value for the oxygenation of fetal hemoglobin is higher which is due to its higher affinity for oxygen compared to adult hemoglobin. Hence in placenta, the oxygen from the mother’s blood s effectively transferred to fetal hemoglobin. |

Why are lithium salts commonly hydrated and those of the other alkali metal ions usually anhydrous? |
|
Answer» Due to its smallest size, Li+ can polarize water molecules easily than the other alkali metal ions. |
|
| 120420. |
Why is LiF almost insoluble in water whereas LiCl soluble not only in water but also in acetone. |
|
Answer» LiF has a greater ionic character than LiCl which disturbs the balance between hydration energy and lattice energy. This balance is crucial for the solvability of ions in solution. Due to greater covalent character and lower lattice energy, dissolution of LiCl is more exothermic in nature than that of LiF. |

Consider the reaction, N2(g) + 3H2 (g) ⇌ 2NH3 (g). Explain the effect of pressure on this equilibrium reaction. |
|
Answer» N2(g) + 3H2(g) ⇌ 2NH3(g) In the above equilibrium, if the pressure is increased, the volume wiLl decreases. The system responds to this effect by reducing the number of gas molecules. i.e., it favours the formation of ammonia. If the pressure is reduced, the volume will increases. It favours the decomposition of ammonia. |
|
| 120423. |
Explain the effect of temperature on the following equilibrium reaction.N2(g) + 3H2(g) ⇌ 2NH3(g), ∆H = – 92.2 kJ. |
|
Answer» In this equilibrium, N2(g) + 3H2(g) ⇌ 2NH3(g), ∆H = – 92.2 kJ. Forward reaction is exothermic while the reverse reaction is endothermic. If the temperature of the system increased, the system responds by decomposing some of ammonia molecules to nitrogen and hydrogen by absorbing the supplied heat energy. Similarly, the system responds to a drop in the temperature by forming more ammonia molecule from nitrogen and hydrogen which release heat energy. |
