Detailed Solution
When CO combines with hemoglobin ΔG < 0, i.e., reaction is spontaneous (in forward side). More O2 is released. Thus, O2-carrying capacity of hemoglobin is reduced.It does not involve H2O hence no effect of addition of H2OAlso, ΔG =−2.303 RT log KHence. increase in temperature makes ΔG more negative.
