When a man inhales air containing normal concentration of O_(2) as well as CO he suffers from suffocation because

In the presence of carbon monoxide along with the normal amount of oxygen in the air man feels suffocation because :

When heathly earth's stratosphere contains a low concentration of ozone (O_(3)) that absorbs potentially harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiations by the cycle shown below: Chloroflouro carbon refrigerants, such as freon 12(CF_(2)Cl_(2)) , are stable in lower atmosphere but in the stratosphere, they absorb high energy UV radiation to generate chlorine radicals. CF_(2)Cl_(2) overset(hv)(to) CF_(2)Cl+Cl The presence of small number of chlorine radicals appears to lower ozone concentrations dramatically. The following reactions are all known to be exothermic (except the one requiring light) and to have high rate constant. A:Cl-O-O-Cloverset(hv)(to)O_(2)+2Cl^(*) B: Cl_O^(*)+O to O_(2)+Cl^(*) C:Cl^(*)+O_(3) to Cl-O^(*)+O_(2) D:2Cl-O^(*) to Cl-O-O-Cl Q. Ozone has the ability to absorb

When carbon dioxide is passed over red hot carbon, carbon monoxide is produced according to the equation: CO_(2)+Cto2CO What volume of carbon monoxide at S.T.P. can be obtained from 3 g of carbon ? (The molar volume of a gas is 22.4 litres)

One tonne of air contains 2 xx 10^(-3) g of carbon as smoke. Calculate the concentration of carbon in ppm in air.

A block o plastic having a thin air cavity (whose thickenss is comparable to wavelength of light waves) is shown in fig. The thickness of air cavity (which can be considered as air wedge for interference pattern) is varying linearly from one end to other as shown. A broad beam of monochromatic light is incident normally from the top of the plastic box. Some ligth lis reflected back above and below the cavity .The plastic layers than wavelength of incident light . An observer when looking down from top sees an interference pattern consisting of eight dark fringes and seven bright fringe along the wedge. Take wavelength of incident light in air as lambda_(0) and refractive index of plastic as mu Assume that the thickness of the ends of air cavity are such that formation of fringe takes place there. Determine the separation between 1st and 2nd dark fringes form the left end of air cavity
