(choose chapter or problem)

The effect of acid \(\left(\mathrm{H}^{+}\right)\) on the binding of oxygen to hemoglobin can be summarized as follows:

\(\mathrm{HbH}^{+}(a q)+\mathrm{O}_{2}(a q) \rightleftarrows \mathrm{HbO}_{2}(a q)+\mathrm{H}^{+}(a q)\)

During strenuous exercise, acid can build up in a condition known as acidosis. What happens to the concentration of oxyhemoglobin as acidosis occurs?
