Answer to Problem 25.13E
The equilibrium equation that represents the reaction of oxygen with hemoglobin is given below.
If blood is present in a capillary close to the actively metabolizing tissue cells then the equilibrium must shifts towards the left direction.
Explanation of Solution
The equilibrium reaction that represents the reaction of oxygen with hemoglobin is given below.
In this equilibrium reaction, 1 mole of hemoglobin reacts with 4 moles of oxygen to form
In the condition of the presence of blood in a capillary close to the actively metabolizing tissue cells, the oxygenated RBCS are transported by the blood inside the capillaries close to the actively metabolizing cells of the tissues. Therefore, the concentration of hydrogen ion increased in the RBCs that results in a given reversible reaction below.
In this condition, the equilibrium will shift towards the left direction to reimburse the high amount of oxygen.

- Using a cell of known pathlength b = 1.25115 x 10-3 cm, a water absorption spectrum was measured. The band at 1645 cm-1, assigned to the O-H bending, showed an absorbance, A, of 1.40. a) Assuming that water density is 1.00 g/mL, calculate the water molar concentration c (hint: M= mole/L) b) Calculate the molar absorptivity, a, of the 1645 cm-1 band c) The transmitted light, I, can be written as I= Ioexp(-xb), where x is the absorption coefficient (sometimes designated as alpha), Io is the input light, and b is the cell pathlength.
