According to the chemical reaction, if there are 4.5 mol of oxygenated hemoglobin present in an excess of carbon monoxide, how many moles of hemoglobin would release oxygen and bind to carbon monoxide? explain your answer.

This reaction is called carbon monoxide poisoning. Carbon monoxide has a great affinity to hemoglobin relative to oxygen, so it spontaneously combines with hemoglobin. The overall balanced reaction is:



There is a 1:1 molar ratio from oxygenated hemoglobin to each of the products. Thus, there is also 4.5 mol of released oxygen and 4.5 mol of hemoglobin bound to carbon monoxide.
