Hemoglobin (Hb) molecules in blood carry O2 molecules from the lungs, where the concentration of oxygen is high, to the tissues where it is low (see the Interlude following Focus 5). In the tissues the equilibrium H3O1(aq) 1 HbO22 (aq) ∆ HHb(aq) 1 H2O(l) 1 O2(aq) releases oxygen. When muscles work h...

I found on the internet that the Kc value for the forward rxn is actually 5.9*10^-3. So, for the reverse rxn, the Kc value would be 1.69*10^2
Using these values, I got pretty similar values of concentrations as the solution manual

Re: Intermolecular Forces
The size of the molecule affects intermolecular forces. If the molecule is large, it will have more attractive intermolecular forces, which can cause it to change phase and become more condensed (liquid, solid).

The higher polarizability of a molecule, the stronger intermolecular forces/attractions there will be, so it will be harder to break bonds. Which means its melting point and boiling point will be high.
