1. The hemoglobin in blood establishes an equilibrium with oxygen gas very quickly. The equilibrium can be represented as heme + O2 heme-O2 where "heme" stands for hemoglobin and "heme-O;" stands for the hemoglobin-oxygen complex. The value for the equilibrium constant for this reaction is about 9.2 x 105. Carbon monoxide also binds with hemoglobin by the following reaction: heme + co = heme-co This reaction has an equilibrium constant of 2.3 x 103. Which reaction's equilibrium lies farther toward products? Does your answer justify the toxicity of CO?

the equilibrium constant (K) is a quantitative measurement of theextent to which a chemical or physical reaction proceeds to completion. If two reactants ofknown initial concentration are mixed and then the concentrations of the products aremeasured once equilibrium has been established, then the equilibrium constant can becalculated using an ICE table.In this experiment you will measure the equilibrium constant for the formation of iron(III)thiocyanate from the iron(III) cation and thiocyanate anion:Fe3+(aq) + SCN-(aq) FeSCN2+(aq)The product, FeSCN2+, is intensely red, which means that its concentration can be measured byusing an ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectrophotometer. So long as a solution is not tooconcentrated, the absorption of light at a particular wavelength by a chemical species isdescribed by Beer’s Law:A = εℓ[X] where A = absorption of light (unitless number)ε = molar absorptivity constant (cm-1 M-1)ℓ = path length (cm)[X] = concentration (M)The path length for our…
