10 The rate of the reaction between hemoglobin (Hb) and carbon monoxide (CO) was studied at 20°C.
The following data were collected with all
concentration units in u mol/L. (A hemoglobin
concentration of 2.21 u mol/L is equal to
2.21 x 10 mol/L.)
[Hblo [CO),

(a) Determine the orders of this reaction with
respect to Hb and CO.
(b) Determine the rate law.
(c) Calculate the value of the rate constant.
(d) What would be the initial rate for an
experiment with [Hb]o =3.36 u mol/L
[CO] =2.40 4 mol/L?
