The solution on the left was made by dissolving several drops of blood in some water. The solution on the right was made the same way except that a small amount of HCl was also added to this tube. Based on your general knowledge about the color of blood and the information in question 3, propose an explanation for what happened.
Question 3: . The ability of hemoglobin (Hb) to carry oxygen throughout the body as oxyhemoglobin (HbO2) is dependent on the pH of the blood. What effect would acidosis have on the ability of a patient to transport oxygen? HbH+ + O2 HbO2 + H+.
