Question:

Carbon monoxide and the cyanide ion are both toxic because they bind more strongly than oxygen to the iron in hemoglobin (Hb).Hb + O Hb+ CO: HbO HbCO K = 2 x 102 K = 1 X 104

Calculate the equilibrium constant value for this reaction:HbO + CO = HbCO + Oz

Does the equilibrium favor reactants or products?
