The binding of oxygen by hemoglobin (Hb), giving oxy-hemoglobin (HbO2), is partially regulated by the concentration of H3O+ and dissolved CO2 in the blood. Although the equilibrium is complicated, it can be summarized as HbO2(aq)+H3O+(aq)+CO2(g)CO2HbH++O2(g)+H2O(l) (a) Write the equilibrium constant expression for this reaction. (b) Explain why the production of lactic acid and CO2 in a muscle during exertion stimulates release of O2 from the oxy-hemoglobin in the blood passing through the muscle.
