Imagine that there is a certain copper containing metalloprotein, abbreviated R, which contains two copper atoms per molecule of protein.  The molar mass of R is 107,000 g/mol.  What is the mass % of copper in the metalloprotein?   The concentration of R in blood is 15.5 g R/100 mL blood.What is its molar concentration?   R can bind O2(g) . If the O2(g) pressure is 0.16 atm at 37oC,  what is the molar concentration of the O2(g)?   The two copper atoms in R have the ability to bind one molecule of O2 (Cu–O–O–Cu). If, at equilibrium, O2 is bound to 60% of the R, what is the equilibrium constant for the reaction  R  +  O2  ⇌  RO2 ?   Hemoglobin, abbreviated Hb, is the oxygen carrier protein in mammals.The equilibrium constant for the reaction of Hb with O2(g) under the same conditions,   Hb  +  O2  ⇌  HbO2, is 225.  What is the equilibrium constant for the reaction    HbO2  +  R  ⇌  RO2  +  Hb ?
