A Member Of The Landing Party Has Been Sent To Sickbay After Being Exposed To High Levels Of Carbon Monoxide In Order F 1 (50.78 KiB) Viewed 15 times

A member of the landing party has been sent to sickbay after being exposed to high levels of carbon monoxide. In order for Dr. McCoy to treat this patient he needs to know the degree of poisoning that has occurred. He will first explain to you why the carbon monoxide is a poison and then tell you what information he needs, please help him: The hemoglobin molecule carries Oz in the blood from the lungs to the cells, where the Oz is released for metabolic processes. The molecule can be represented as Hb in its unoxygenated form and as Hb oz in its oxygenated form. One reason CO is toxic is that it competes with O, for binding to Hb: Hb O2(aq) + CO2) => Hb CO(wa) + O2(wa) A Gº = -14 kJ at 37°C (body temperature) What is the ratio of [Hb COJ[Hb Oz) at 37 °C with [02] = [CO]?
