When is dissociation of CO₂ from carbamino-haemoglobin likely to occur?

When is dissociation of CO₂ from carbamino-haemoglobin likely to occur?
  1. When pCO₂ is high and pO₂ is low
  2. When pCO₂ is low and pO₂ is high
  3. When pCO₂ is high and pO₂ is high
  4. When pCO₂ is low and pO₂ is low

Solution

When the pCO₂ is low and pO₂ is high as in the alveoli, dissociation of CO₂ from carbamino-haemoglobin takes place.
