The conversion of 2 - butanol to 2 - nitrobutane involves conversion of 2 butanol to 2 - bromobutane and subsequently to 2 - nitrobutane.
In order to convert 2 - butanol to 2 - nitrobutane, an SN2 reaction is first carried out in which 2 - butanol is converted to 2 - bromobutane. This reaction proceeds with inversion of configuration at the chiral carbon as expected.
This product is subsequently reacted with silver nitrite in ethanol to yield 2 - nitrobutane along side silver bromide. Some alkyl nitrite is also produced as a by product. The components of the mixture are separated by fractional distillation. The scheme of the reaction is shown in the image attached to this answer. This reaction is only applied to primary and secondary alkyl halides.

Answer:
At this partial pressure of oxygen, Mb would be almost completely saturated but Hb would not.
Explanation:
The oxygen saturation curves for Mb and Hb are quite different. The curve for Mb is hyperbolic while that for Hb is sigmoidal.
Mb reaches oxygen saturation before Hb.
Thus, at a partial pressure of 40 mmHg, Mb is almost completely saturated but Hb is not.
