Chapter 18, Problem 18.181(choose chapter or problem)
Hemoglobin (Hb) transports oxygen in the blood: HbH1(aq) 1 O2(aq) 1 H2O(l) - HbO2(aq) 1 H3O1(aq) In blood, [H3O1] is held nearly constant at 431028 M. (a) How does the equilibrium position change in the lungs? (b) How does it change in O2-deficient cells? (c) Excessive vomiting may lead to metabolic alkalosis, in which [H3O1] in blood decreases. How does this condition affect the ability of Hb to transport O2? (d) Diabetes mellitus may lead to metabolic acidosis, in which [H3O1] in blood increases. How does this condition affect the ability of Hb to transport O2?
