Question:
$\text{CO gas is more dangerous than CO}_2 \text{ gas because:}$ $1. \text{CO is capable of forming a complex with haemoglobin (carboxyhemoglobin), that is more stable than the oxygen-haemoglobin complex.}$ $2. \text{CO is capable of forming a complex with haemoglobin (carboxyhemoglobin), that is less stable than the oxygen-haemoglobin complex.}$ $3. \text{CO}_2 \text{ is capable of forming a complex with haemoglobin (carboxyhemoglobin), that is more stable than the oxygen-haemoglobin complex.}$ $4. \text{CO}_2 \text{ is capable of forming a complex with haemoglobin (carboxyhemoglobin), that is less stable than the oxygen-haemoglobin complex.}$
Options:
-
1. $\text{CO is capable of forming a complex with haemoglobin (carboxyhemoglobin), that is more stable than the oxygen-haemoglobin complex.}$
-
2. $\text{CO is capable of forming a complex with haemoglobin (carboxyhemoglobin), that is less stable than the oxygen-haemoglobin complex.}$
-
3. $\text{CO}_2 \text{ is capable of forming a complex with haemoglobin (carboxyhemoglobin), that is more stable than the oxygen-haemoglobin complex.}$
-
4. $\text{CO}_2 \text{ is capable of forming a complex with haemoglobin (carboxyhemoglobin), that is less stable than the oxygen-haemoglobin complex.}$
Solution:
$\text{Carbon monoxide is poisonous because it is capable of forming a complex with hemoglobin (carboxyhemoglobin), which is more stable than the oxygen-hemoglobin complex.}$ $\text{The concentration range of 3\text{--}4\% of carboxyhemoglobin decreases the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood.}$ $\text{This results in headaches, weak eyesight, nervousness, and cardiovascular disorders.}$ $\text{A more increased concentration may even lead to death. Carbon dioxide is not poisonous. It proves harmful only at very high concentrations.}$
