Concept introduction:
Standard reduction potentials
It is the reduction potential of a chemical substance in standard conditions. The stronger the reducing character (negative reduction potential) they will be low in position compared to hydrogen in the electrochemical series. The stronger the oxidizing character (positive reduction potential) they will be above to hydrogen.

- The molecular weight of sperm whale myoglobin is 17.8 kDa.17.8 kDa. The myoglobin content of sperm whale muscle is about 80 g · kg−1.80 g · kg−1. In contrast, the myoglobin content of some human muscles is about 8 g · kg−1.8 g · kg−1. Compare the amounts of O2O2 bound to myoglobin in human muscle and in sperm whale muscle. Assume that the myoglobin is saturated with O2,O2, and that the molecular weights of human and sperm whale myoglobin are the same. How much O2O2 is bound to myoglobin in human muscle? How much O2O2 is bound to myoglobin in whale muscle? The amount of oxygen dissolved in tissue water at 37°C37°C is about 3.5×10−5 M.3.5×10−5 M.
