Question

1. Hemoglobin is the protein in red blood cells that transports oxygen to cells throughout your body. Each hemoglobin (Hb) molecule attaches to four oxygen molecules:

Hb(aq) + 4 O2(aq) ⇌ Hb(O2)4(aq)

1. (a)Carbon monoxide poisoning occurs when carbon monoxide molecules bind to hemoglobin instead of oxygen molecules.  Carboxyhemoglobin is even redder than oxyhemoglobin; therefore, one symptom of carbon monoxide poisoning is a flushed face.

2. The following equilibrium exists in an aqueous solution of copper(II) chloride:

CuCl42- (aq) + 4 H2O(l) ⇌ Cu(H2O)42+ (aq) + 4 Cl-(aq)

    green                                     blue
