Chapter 15, Problem 15.83QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The effect of acid $\left({\text{H}}^{\text{+}}\right)$ oxyhemoglobin concentration should be identified given the hemoglobin equilibrium reactions.

Concept Introduction:

Chemical equilibrium reaction: The term applied to reversible chemical reactions. It is the point at which the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction. The equilibrium is achieved; the concentrations of reactant and products become constant.

Homogeneous equilibrium: A homogeneous equilibrium involved has a everything present in the same phase and same conditions, for example reactions where everything is a gas, or liquid everything is present in the same solution.

Le Chatelier's Principle (Kp): The closed system is an increase in pressure, the equilibrium will shift towards the sides of the reaction with some moles of gas. The decrease in pressure the equilibrium will shift towards the side of the reaction with high moles of gas.
