Solution: Carbon monoxide is toxic because it bonds much
Chapter 10, Problem 10.88(choose chapter or problem)
Carbon monoxide is toxic because it bonds much more strongly to the iron in hemoglobin (Hgb) than does O2. Consider the following reactions and approximate standard free energy changes: Hgb 1 O2 88n HgbO2 DG8 5 270 kJ Hgb 1 CO 88n HgbCO DG8 5 280 kJ Using these data, estimate the equilibrium constant value at 258C for the following reaction: HgbO2 1 CO 34 HgbCO 1 O2
