Hemoglobin carries O2 from the lungs to tissue cells, where the O 2 is released. The protein is represented as Hb in its unoxygenated form and as Hb•O2 in its oxygenated form. One reason CO is toxic is that it competes with O2 in binding to Hb:
Hb•O2(aq) + CO(g) ⥫⥬ Hb•CO(aq) + O 2(g)
(b) How is Le Châtelier’s principle used to treat CO poisoning?
