Question

You have 15 g of hemoglobin in every 100. ml of your blood. 10.0 ml of your blood can carry 2.01 ml of oxygen. How many milliliters of oxygen does each gram of hemoglobin carry?

Answer 1

The answer is 1.34 millilitres oxygen.

You have 15 g of haemoglobin in every 100. ml of your blood.

10.0 ml of your blood can carry 2.01 ml of oxygen. 1.34 millilitres of oxygen does each gram of haemoglobin carry.

$\frac{100}{10} \times 2.01=20.1 \mathrm{ml} 0xygen$

15 gr haemoglobin =100 ml blood = 20.1 ml Oxygen, so for each gram of haemoglobin:

$\frac{1 \mathrm{gr}}{15 \mathrm{gr}} \times 20.1 \mathrm{ml}=1.34 \mathrm{ml} \mathrm{O}_{2}$

What is haemoglobin?

• Haemoglobin, also spelt hemoglobin, an iron-containing protein in the blood of many animals—in the red blood cells of vertebrates—that transports oxygen to the tissues. Haemoglobin forms an unstable reversible bond with oxygen.
• Haemoglobin is a two-way respiratory carrier, transporting oxygen from the lungs to the tissues and facilitating the return transport of carbon dioxide.
• In the arterial circulation, haemoglobin has a high affinity for oxygen and a low affinity for carbon dioxide, organic phosphates, and hydrogen and chloride ions
