You have a 11.5 mg sample of blood that contains various proteins. Hemoglobin is the only protein in the sample containing Fe. Hemoglobin contains 3.83% by mass of a compound called heme (C34H32FeN4O4, MW = 616.49 g/mol). You find that your 11.5 mg blood sample contains 29.7 micrograms of Fe. What is the mass percent of hemoglobin in your protein sample?

A 1 mL sample of glycogen was calculated to contain 35 µmol (micromole) glucose. To 1 mL of this sample was added 2 mL of 2 M HCL. It was then hydrolysed by boiling the solution for 15 minutes. After boiling the hydrolysate was cooled and made up with H2O to a final volume of exactly 10 mL. The glucose was measured in this solution and found to have a concentration of 570 µg/mL (microgram/milliliter). i) Calculate the mass (mg) of glucose in the 10 mL of hydrolysate. As the 1mL of glycogen sample was made up to a final volume of 10 mL, this mass of glucose was produced by the hydrolysis of the original 1 mL glycogen sample. ii) Calculate the amount (µmol) of glucose produced by the hydrolysis of the glycogen sample. iii) Calculate the purity of the glycogen used in the sample as % Purity = (moles of measured glucose/ moles of calculated glucose in glycogen) *100 iv) state your answer in a complete sentence.
