Hemoglobin the red blood protein responsible for oxygen


Hemoglobin, the red blood protein responsible for oxygen transport, binds about 1.34cm^3 of oxygen per gram. Normal blood has a hemoglobin concentration of 150 g dm^-3. Hemoglobin in the lungs is about 97 per cent saturated with oxygen, but in the capillary is only about 75 per cent saturated. What volume of oxygen is given up by 100cm^3 of blood flowing from the lungs in the capillary? (1.34cm^3/g is the 97% bingding of O2 to hemoglobin per gram for blood in the lungs).
