Question

A 52-kg woman has 7.2 x 10-mol of hemoglobin (molar mass =
64456 g/mol ) in
her blood. How many hemoglobin molecules is this?

Answer 1

There are 6.022 x 1023 molecules per mole (Avogadro's number). As there are 7.2 x 10-3 moles of hemoglobin, the number of hemoglobin molecules would be 6.022 x 1023 molecules/mole x 7.2 x 10-3 moles = 4.3 x 1021 molecules
