    Why is the gas so deadly?

    • Colourless, highly toxic with a pungent odour

    • Greenish in colour, highly toxic and odourless

    • Colourless, odourless and high toxic

    Correct Answer
    A. Colourless, odourless and high toxic
    Explanation
    The gas is deadly because it is colorless, odorless, and highly toxic. This means that it cannot be easily detected by our senses, making it difficult to identify and avoid. Additionally, its high toxicity means that even small amounts of the gas can be extremely harmful or fatal to living organisms.

    It reacts with which compound in our blood?

    • Plasma

    • Haemoglobin

    • Both

    Correct Answer
    A. Haemoglobin
    Explanation
    Haemoglobin is the correct answer because it is a compound found in our blood that reacts with other substances. It is responsible for carrying oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body and helps in the transportation of carbon dioxide back to the lungs for exhalation. Haemoglobin also plays a crucial role in maintaining the pH balance of the blood. Therefore, it is the compound in our blood that reacts with other substances, making it the correct answer.

    Why the gas prevents oxygen from binding with haemoglobin?

    • It forms a stable compound with haemoglobin

    • It binds with the plasma

    • It destroys the haemoglobin

    Correct Answer
    A. It forms a stable compound with haemoglobin
    Explanation
    The gas prevents oxygen from binding with haemoglobin because it forms a stable compound with haemoglobin. This means that the gas molecules attach themselves to the haemoglobin molecules, preventing oxygen molecules from binding and being transported throughout the body. As a result, the oxygen cannot be effectively delivered to the tissues and organs, leading to oxygen deprivation and potentially harmful consequences.
