Question

Write an equilibrium expression (Keq) for the reaction.

Hb(CO)4(aq)+4 O2(g)=Hb(O2)4(aq)+4CO(g)

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equilibrium expression (Keq) for the given reaction is:

Keq = [Hb(O2)4(aq)][CO(g)]^4 / [Hb(CO)4(aq)][O2(g)]^4

In this expression, the square brackets represent the molar concentrations of the respective species at equilibrium. The coefficients of the species in the balanced equation indicate the stoichiometric relationship between them. The Keq value represents the equilibrium constant, which is a measure of the extent of the reaction at equilibrium.
