MCQ
Haemoglobin contains $0.33\%$ of iron by weight. The molecular weight of haemoglobin is approximately $67200$. The number of iron atoms (At. wt. of $Fe = 56$) present in one molecule of haemoglobin is
  • A
    $6$
  • B
    $1$
  • $4$
  • D
    $2$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$4$
c
(c) $100\,gm$ $Hb $ contain $= 0.33\,gm$ $Fe$

$\therefore $ $67200\,gm$ $Hb $ = $\frac{{67200 \times 0.33}}{{100}}\,gm\;Fe$

$gm$ atom of $Fe$ = $\frac{{672 \times 0.33}}{{56}} = 4$.
