Abstract
It was shown by Barcroft and Roberts (7) that the volume
y
of oxygen taken up in reversible combination, at partial pressure
x
, by carefully dialysed hæmoglobin solution, is given by the equation
y
/
a
= K
x
/(1 + K
x
), (I) where
a
is the volume taken up at a high pressure, and K is a constant. It is usual to take
a
as unity, and to speak of
y
as the “ degree of saturation.” This equation can be deduced thermodynamically for the reversible chemical reaction Hb + O
2
⇄ Hbo
2
(II) if we suppose the the reacting bodies Hb and Hbo
2
to obey the ordinary laws of osmotic pressure.
