A hemoglobin molecule (molar mass = 65,000 g) can bind up to four oxygen molecules. In a certain experiment, a 0.085-L solution containing 6.0 g of deoxyheinoglobín (hemoglobin without oxygen molecules bound to it) was combined with an excess of oxygen in a constant-pressure calorimeter of negligible heat capacity. Calculate the enthalpy of reaction per mole of oxygen bound if the temperature rose by 0.044°C, Assume the solution is dilute so that the specific heat of the solution is equal to that of water.
