Haemoglobin contains $$0.33\% $$ of iron by weight. The molecular weight of haemoglobin is approximately $$67200 g.$$ The number of iron atoms $$\left( {{\text{at}}{\text{.}}\,{\text{weight of}}\,Fe\,{\text{is}}\,\,56} \right)$$ present in one molecule of haemoglobin are
A.
1
B.
6
C.
4
D.
2
Answer :
4
Solution :
$$\because \,0.33\% \,$$ of iron by weight means $$100g$$ of haemoglobin has $$0.33 g$$ of iron
$$100 g$$ of haemoglobin contains iron $$= 0.33 g$$
∴ $$67200 g$$ of haemoglobin contains iron
$$\eqalign{
& = \frac{{0.33 \times 67200}}{{100}}g \cr
& = 221.76\,g\,{\text{of}}\,Fe \cr
& {\text{Number of }}Fe{\text{ - }}atoms \cr
& = \frac{{221.76}}{{56}} \cr
& = 3.96 \approx 4 \cr} $$
