Question

Calculate the average ml of oxygen molecules in 100 ml blood in the athletes at low altitude and then in athletes in high altitude while training at high altitude. Use the following information: 1.39 ml of oxygen per gram of hemoglobin.

Answer 1

Answer:

$27.8$ mL of oxygen in $100$ ml of blood

Explanation:

It is proven that a healthy human being has in general $20$ grams of hemoglobin in  $100$ milliliters of blood.  

It is given that -

Amount of oxygen found in $1$ grams of hemoglobin is equal to $1.39$ milliliters of oxygen.

Thus, the total amount of oxygen in milliliters would be equal to product of total weight of hemoglobin and the total amount of oxygen in ml in one gram of hemoglobin.

$= 20 * 1.39 \\= 27.8$ mL
