Yeah, Hi there. Let&#x27;s talk about oxygen and hemoglobin and the reversible reaction that occurs there. Um, so you breathe in air and, of course, that goes through your lungs and in your lungs. There is quite a bit of oxygen that oxygen binds to the hemoglobin. Since there&#x27;s lots of oxygen in your lungs, the oxygen goes ahead and binds to the heat of hemoglobin, and it forms this complex where it shows theocracy gin bonded to the receptor on the hemoglobin. So the hemoglobin has receptors, and that&#x27;s where the oxygen binds. This occurs in the environment when there is lots of oxygen, in other words, in the lungs, and then So this is our reaction. Let&#x27;s talk about what happens once the hemoglobin travels to other tissues and cells in your body. When that hemoglobin travels to other tissues and cells in your body, there is a much lower concentration of oxygen there, so the oxygen is released from the hemoglobin so that it can go to yourselves So the oxygen is released to yourselves, where is then used for cellular respiration. So this reaction is reversible. Evidence that this is reversible is the fact that the hemoglobin works at all. The fact that the hemoglobin can pick up okay can pick up oxygen in the lungs. Okay, according to our forward reaction there in part A. So it becomes the complex. And then the hemoglobin, with the oxygen attached to it, travels through through the blood to your cells, and the oxygen is then released. So that is the reverse reaction. Thank you. Yeah. The fact that we are all alive and breathing is evidence that this was going on. Hemoglobin binding to the oxygen in the lungs, going through the bloodstream to different cells and tissues. In the body where there is a lower oxygen content and the reaction of the process reversing itself and the oxygen and hemoglobin separating so that the oxygen could go to the cells, the hemoglobin will then cycle back to the lungs and pick up more oxygen.

we&#x27;re looking at Ah, binding oxygen to Huma globally. Andi were extended surgically, beom! And this equilibrium and also this reaction will come with and rubbishing its last stand zero. So we should be that If so, we&#x27;re going to ah determined the change in the ah hemoglobin buying did with oxygen. That one I mean department that we have on looking at Ah, you fat off temperature, pressure, pressure Austrian and also him will go be concentration. So first off, or we have ah laddie of value off ever be change. Which means that actually, with this technology so everyday increase the temperature we essentially increasing energy. So increasing energy costs. Ah, reaction to shift left. Ah, there you could even shipped you left Ever the Russian ship to let the concentration off the fine. Um ah him ago b d Chris, get second Reiko Intuit Equus A partial, fresher off, um, oxygen so we can actually decreasing. Lost injured. So a decreasing oxygen because shift ah, equilibrium to laugh again to put this more Austrian to ur comment that loosen oxygen. So again, That&#x27;s why, uh and we&#x27;re going by and with the oxygen form. We also decreased announced. But now is how about every gay increased amount of you. Go. Hey, Magobei. So you get some other hemoglobin you would cost. Ah, well, even shipped your rights. Because where boy, he will go because we were. Ah, we have Teoh, remove some of them. You know that you&#x27;re extending equilibrium. So that&#x27;s why they will him, Really? We compare oxygen able to produce. Ah, well being also during complex. And then the concentration off this home plastering inquests.

this question says that the binding of oxygen by hemoglobin giving oxygen myoglobin is partially Reggie, regulated by the concentration of H 30 Plus and Dissolves Co. Two in the blood. Although the equilibrium is complicated, it could be summarized as. And here&#x27;s that equation of ox came a globe in with H three a plus Uh oh to forming the CO two hemoglobin with the proton plus O two and water and asked us to write the equilibrium. Constant expression for this reaction. I&#x27;ve written that here, basically, just including the equally solutions and the gases. So the products the way it&#x27;s written here would just be 02 and the reactant would be the Oxy hemoglobin, HBO to the pro Native Water HBO plus and the dissolved uh oh to gas and then part B, it says. Explain why the production of lactic Acid and Co. Two in a muscle during exertion stimulates release of 02 from the oxy hemoglobin in the blood passing through the muscle. So it says that in the muscle during exertion, the stereo plus and the CEO to become very high, lactic acid build up. That&#x27;s the pro native water and carbon dioxide buildup, and you could just simply see that by Alicia, please. Principle, If you were in a region of the body where the concentrations of these two compounds are very high, you&#x27;re going to shift the reaction to the right towards products. And when you do that, oxygen globe in gives up that oxygen and coordinates with the carbon dioxide. But you&#x27;re releasing this oxygen into those areas where the concentration of HBO plus and go to our high. So that is why when the muscles produce lactic acid, HBO plus and carbon dioxide, you get release of +02 because you&#x27;re shifting this equilibrium towards the products or towards release of oxygen.

today I&#x27;ll be going over question number 46 which talks about explaining the basic oxygen processing writing system around this equation. So are the oxygen process is actually used to careful your iron and converted to steal. And the other one question is so first P for liquid plus five oxygen&#x27;s I said cash. You don&#x27;t pee for, 0 10 groups. He s a liquid and then peeing 06 minds are seeing oh song for us P four Oh, and dressing the queen years to seeing a curry p 04 p for to them and it&#x27;s a liquid and this is thank.

Carlene Jimenez · Answer

this question wants us to write a balanced equation for the information of carbon monoxide, um, from solid carbon and from oxygen guests. So we know what the formula for were Carbon monoxide is, and it is a swallow&#x27;s. Um now, looking at the complete equation will notice that the number of oxygen atoms is not balanced. Um, however, by placing a to coefficient in front of carbon monoxide, we now have both two oxygen atoms on the left hand and right hand side of this equation. But now the number of carbon atoms is not balanced. So if you place the two in front of the carbon on the left hand side, um will notice that the number of atoms for every element on the left hand side and right hand side of this equation is now balanced.

So we&#x27;re given the equilibrium equation between hemoglobin and gashes, oxygen and oxygenated hemoglobin in the blood and were asked what will happen if we can&#x27;t go to a higher altitude higher above sea level, where the pressure of atmospheric oxygen is less so. If we&#x27;re using the shot, we use principle some things that we know if we go higher up in altitude. That means that there is a decrease in external pressure. If there&#x27;s a decrease in external pressure when we think about gases, we know that gases have an inverse relationship when we&#x27;re talking about pressure and volume, which means that there&#x27;s an increase in volume for gases. And so, for the family is principal. When we&#x27;re looking at something, a system in equilibrium, if you increase volume, that means equilibrium is going to shift to the side with more moles of gas. Bigger but bigger volume, more space, more gas. So in the case of this equilibrium, there&#x27;s one mole of gas, this 02 on the reactant side. But there&#x27;s normals of gas on the product side. So for equilibrium, according to Lush Atlee is principle. If we shift to the side with normals of gas, we will be shifting to the left, which means we&#x27;re favoring the reverse reaction. And we&#x27;re converting oxygenated hemoglobin back into de oxygenated hemoglobin, an oxygen gas. So if we go higher up in altitude, the pressure decreases. Volume increases for gases. So we shift in this case to the left, which means this is going to be converted back to the reactions, so the concentration of oxygen human glue been would go down. Now. There&#x27;s also the case that there&#x27;s less availability of oxygen at higher altitudes, so again, the concentration of your oxygenated hemoglobin would decrease.
