To carry out metabolim oxygen is taken up by haemoglobin (Hb) to from oxyhaemoglobin (HbO_(2)) according to the elementary reaction: Hb(aq) + O_(2)(aq) overset(K)(to)HbO_(2) (aq) the value of K is 2.0 xx10^(6) M^(-1) s^(-1) "at" 37^(@) C(body temperature). For an average adult the concentrations of Hb and O_(2) in the blood in the lungs are 8.0 xx10^(-6) M "and" 1.5 xx 10^(-6) M. respectively. The rate of formation of HbO_(2)increases ot 1.6xx10^(-4) Ms^(-1) during an exercise to meet the demand of increased metabolism rate. Assuming the Hb concentration to ramain same, what must the oxygen concentration be to sustain this rate of HbO_(2)formation? [If the answer is X then fill OMR by multiplying X with 10^(6).]
