Hemoglobin is 0.35% iron by mass. Calculate how many iron atoms are in each hemoglobin molecule.arrow_forwardWhat number of molecules (or formula units) are present in 1.00 g of each of the compounds in Exercise 52?arrow_forward
- Atomic masses are relative masses. What does this mean?arrow_forwardThere are two binary compounds of mercury and oxygen. Heating either of them results in the decomposition of the compound, with oxygen gas escaping into the atmosphere while leaving a residue of pure mercury. Heating 0.6498 g of one of the compounds leaves a residue of 0.6018 g. Heating 0.4172 g of the other compound results in a mass loss of 0.016 g. Determine the empirical formula of each compound.arrow_forwardCarbonic anhydrase, an important enzyme in mammalian respiration, is a large zinc-containing protein with a molar mass of 3.00 × 104 g/mol. The zinc is 0.218% by mass of the protein. Determine how many zinc atoms each carbonic anhydrase molecule contains.arrow_forward
