Which of these systems exists in a state of chemical equilibrium?
oxygen and haemoglobin in the human circulatory system
the combustion of wood
the amount of in a decomposing organism
None
1. Exists in a state of equilibrium as the chemical reaction that occurs in the body is:
.
2. Combustion processes are never in equilibrium.
3. The amount of C14 in a living organism remains constant but it does not remain constant in decaying matter. This concept is used in Radiocarbon dating to find the age of fossils.
Therefore, the option number (1) is correct.
