Chapter 19, Problem 90AE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The equilibrium constant value at 25⁰C for the below reaction needs to be identified.

  ${\text{HbO}}_{\text{2}}\text{+ CO }𑨀{\text{HbCO + O}}_{\text{2}}$

Concept Introduction :

The relation between change in Gibbs free energy and equilibrium constant is as follows:

  ${\text{-ΔG}}^{\text{0}}\text{= 2}\text{.303 RT log K}$

Here, R is Universal gas constant, T is temperature and K is equilibrium constant.
