18. A biochemist has a 0.1000 L sample of a globin protein at a concentration of 0.0500 M. The P50 of the protein is 12.00 kPa. The starting partial pressure of O₂ is 20.00 kPa, and the biochemist reduces the pO₂ to 2.000 kPa. Calculate the total number of O₂ binding sites (in terms of moles) that lose their bound O₂ molecules as a result of the pressure change. Round your answer to 4 decimal places. Please do not include a unit in your submitted answer on Canvas.
