Answer:

66986.51 g/mol

Explanation:

According to this question, Hemoglobin- an oxygen carrying compound in the blood, is found to contain 0.3335% iron (Fe) by mass.

* One molecule of hemoglobin contains four atoms of iron

If 1 atom of Fe = 55.85g/mol

Then 4 atoms = 4 × 55.85 = 223.4g/mol

So there are 223.4g/mol of Fe in one molecule of hemoglobin

If hemoglobin contains 0.3335% iron by mass, this mathematically means that:

223.4g/mol of Fe ÷ molar mass of hemoglobin = 0.3335%

That is;

223.4/M.M = 0.3335/100

Cross multiply

0.3335 M.M = 22340

M.M = 22340 ÷ 0.3335

M.M = 66986.51

Hence, the molar mass of hemoglobin is 66986.51g/mol.

Whats the difference between genotype and phenotype.
Olegator [25]

\huge{\green}\fcolorbox{blue}{cyan}{\bf{\underline{\red{\color{red}Answer}}}}

  • The genotype is a set of genes in the DNA which are responsible for the unique trait or characteristics.
  • Whereas the phenotype is the physical appearance or characteristic of the organism.
  • Thus, we can find the human genetic code with the help of their genotype.
  • Organisms may look the same but still may not have the same genotype.
  • One can determine the genotype by the biological tests.
  • On the other hand, the phenotype is determined by an individual’s genotype and can be expressed as genes or by the visible traits.
  • Such traits are hair color or type, eye color body shape, and height, and many such more.
  • It will depend on the genotype but also influenced by the factors existing in the surrounding.
