- Hemoglobin in our blood exist in two predominant forms.one form,known as oxyhemoglobin, has oxygen bound to the iron and the other,known as deoxyhemoglobin has water molecule bound instead.Oxyhemoglobin is a low spin complex that gives arterial blood its red colour, and deoxyhemoglobin is a high spin complex that gives venus blood its darker colour.Explain these observations in terms of the crystal field splitting.arrow_forwardQ1// In an attempt to understand the mechanism of the depolarization process in a fuel cell, an electro-kinetic model for mixed oxygen-methanol current on platinum was developed in the laboratory at FAMU. A very simplified model of the reaction developed suggests a functional relation in an integral form. To find the time required for 50% of the oxygen to be consumed, the time, T is given by: -3.5 6.87X T = G -)dx √X² +4 Use Simpson's 3/8 multiple segment rule with 6 segments to find the time required for 50% of the oxygen to be consumed.arrow_forwardReferring to the BCC lattice structure shown in Figure P2.12 a.
