- b. If NaOH were added to the buffer solution, what would it react with?
- c. Compare how the pH would change if 0.05 moles of NaOH were added to the buffer solution compared to a container with just water.

4. Which reasons are the best choices for explaining why the amounts
of oxygenated hemoglobin decrease as altitude increases.
A. The decreased partial pressure of oxygen at higher altitudes reduces the
amount of saturated hemoglobin.
B. Equilibrium binding constants of oxygen to hemoglobin decrease at
higher altitude reducing the amount of saturated hemoglobin.
C. Not being acclimated to higher altitudes keeps the percentage of
oxygenated hemoglobin lower than when acclimated.
D. Fewer bound oxygen molecules reduces the supporting impact of
cooperative binding, thus lessening the amount of fulling oxygenated
hemoglobin.
