Chapter 18, Problem 18.181P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Change in equilibrium position of the given reaction in lungs has to be interpreted.

Concept Introduction:

Le Chatelier principle states that, whenever a system at equilibrium is disturbed, the system will undergo reactions and try to cancel that effect and retain equilibrium. Here the disturbance means change in concentration of any of the component, change in temperature, pressure or volume.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Change in equilibrium position of the given reaction in oxygen deficient cells has to be interpreted.

Concept Introduction:

Le Chatelier principle states that, whenever a system at equilibrium is disturbed, the system will undergo reactions and try to cancel that effect and reattain equilibrium. Here the disturbance means change in concentration of any of the component, change in temperature, pressure or volume.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The effect of decrease in concentration of ${\text{H}}_{\text{3}}{\text{O}}^{\text{+}}$ in blood on the oxygen transporting ability of hemoglobin has to be explained.

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The effect of increase in concentration of ${\text{H}}_{\text{3}}{\text{O}}^{\text{+}}$ in blood on the oxygen transporting ability of hemoglobin has to be explained.
