The Bohr effect specifically describes the rightward shift of the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve.
Which equation correctly illustrates the chemical basis for the 'acid' component of this shift?
- pH = pK_a + log left( frac[A^-][HA] right)
- CO_2 + H_2O rightleftharpoons H_2CO_3
- PV = nRT
- Hb · O_2 + H^+ rightleftharpoons Hb · H^+ + O_2
