Q.

To carry out metabolism, oxygen is taken up by hemoglobin (Hb) to form oxyhemoglobin (HbO2 ) according to the elementary reaction :

Hb(aq)+O2(aq)KHbO2(aq)

The value of K is 2.0×106M1s1 at 37° C (body temperatures). For an average adult, the concentrations of Hb and O2 in the blood in the lungs are 8.0×106M and 1.5×106M , respectively. The rate of formation of HbO2 increases to 1.6×104Ms1 during an exercise to meet the demand of increased metabolism rate. Assuming the Hb concentration to remain same, what must the oxygen concentration be to sustain this rate of HbO2 formation?

[If the answer is 'X', then fill OMR by multiplying 'X' with 106]

Detailed Solution

Oxygen concentration,

1.6×104=2×106×8×106×O2 O2=105

Multiply it with 106, we get

10-5×106=10
