Hemoglobin is an important biological molecule in red blood cells. The roll of hemoglobin is to transport oxygen gas throughout the circulatory system. Hemoglobin, Hb, is in a dynamic equilibrium with oxygen according to the following reaction: + 402 Hb(Oa ca НЬ (aq) What is meant by the term "dynamic equilibrium"? a. When hemoglobin is in the blood vessels of the lungs, oxygen is transferred to hemoglobin. How does Le Chatelier's Principle explain this shift in equilibrium? b.
