Hemoglobin (Hb) and oxygen gas form a complex (HbO2) that carries oxygen throughout the human
body. Unfortunately, carbon monoxide also binds to hemoglobin so that an equilibrium is established. Carbon monoxide poisoning occurs when the concentration of HbO2 in the blood is reduced.
HbO2 + CO HbCO + O2
The first aid for a person suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning is to (1) remove them to an area of fresh air, and (2) administer oxygen. Using the principles of equilibrium, explain how each of these helps to restore the HbO2 concentration.

Agas is inside a cylinder fitted with a piston. the gas and its surroundings are both at 20 βc and the gas is compressed as the piston moves and decreases the cylinder volume. the compression takes place slowly enough to allow the gas temperature to stay at 20 βc and the work done on the gas by the compression is 2.4 Γ 103 j.
