Dalton's Law states that:
A) the amount of a gas that diffuses across a membrane depends on the differences in the gas's partial pressure.
B) the ability of hemoglobin to bind oxygen depends on the partial pressure of oxygen.
C) in a mixture of gases, the total pressure of the mixture is the sum of the pressures of the individual gases.
D) pH causes a displacement of the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve.
E) as the concentration of chloride ions increases, the ability of hemoglobin to bind carbon dioxide decreases.
Dalton's Law
A principle stating that in a mixture of non-reacting gases, the total pressure exerted is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases.
Partial Pressure
The pressure that each gas in a mixture would exert if it alone occupied the entire volume of the mixture at the same temperature.
Dissociation Curve
A graphical representation showing the fraction of a compound in a bound versus unbound state across a range of concentrations or conditions.
