    Haemoglobin contains 0.33% of iron by weight. The molecular weight of haemoglobin is approximately 67200. The number of iron atoms (at. wt. of Fe is 56) present in one molecule of haemoglobin are:                             [AIPMT 1998]

    A)  1                    

    B)       6                    

    C)  4                    

    D)       2

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[\because \] 0.33% of iron by weight means 100 g haemoglobin has 0.33 g iron.
                100 g of haemoglobin contains iron = 0.33 g
                \[\therefore \] 67200 g of haemoglobin contains iron
                \[\frac{0.33\times 67200}{100}g\,=221.768\,g\,of\,iron\]
                Number of e atoms \[=\frac{221.768}{56}=3.96\,\approx \,4\]
