A) The equilibrium constant for the binding of CO is greater.
B) The equilibrium constant for the binding of oxygen is greater.
C) The concentration of carbon monoxide at equilibrium is twice that of oxygen.
D) Oxygen and carbon monoxide have the same formula mass.
E) Oxygen and carbon monoxide react with hemoglobin in different fashions.
