Answer:
The blood will contain 750 grams of O2
Explanation:
Volume of blood in the human body = 15 deciliters
Mass of hemoglobin per deciliter of blood = 15 grams
Mass of hemoglobin in 50 deciliters of blood = 50×15 = 750 grams
Since all the hemoglobin molecules are saturated with O2, mass of O2 in the blood will be the same as mass of hemoglobin molecules in the blood.
Therefore, mass of O2 in the blood is 750 grams
Answer:
750 g of O2 in the blood.
Explanation:
Volume of blood in the human body, V = 15 deciliters
Density of hemoglobin, D = 15 grams/deciliter
Mass of hemoglobin = Density * volume
= 50 * 15
= 750 g.
Since all the hemoglobin molecules are saturated with O2, mass of O2 in the blood = mass of hemoglobin molecules in the blood. Mass of O2 in the blood is 750 g.
