Release kinetics. The equilibrium constant K for the binding of oxygen to myoglobin is 10?6 M, where K is defined as

K = [MbO2]/[Mb][O2]

The rate constant for the combination of O2 with myoglobin is 2 × 107 M?1 s?1.

(a) What is the rate constant for the dissociation of O2 from oxymyoglobin?

(b) What is the mean duration of the oxymyoglobin complex?

please show me how to solve. i have the answer key but i am studying for an exam and i do not know how to work the problem out.
