Hemoglobin (Hb) is the protein contained in red blood cells that is responsible for delivery of oxygen to the tissues (Billet, 1990). Its molecular formula is (MM= 65248 g/mol), calculate the amount of hemoglobin in grams of an average 8 lb baby if this contains approximately 270 mL of blood. Note that each mL of blood contains 5.0 x 10⁹ erythrocytes and each red blood cells contain 2.8 x 108 hemoglobin molecules. Round your answer in 4 decimal places u

4. a) A given inorganic compound contains only silicon (Si) and hydrogen (H). If the mass percentage of Si in this compound is 90.28%, what is the mass percentage of H in this compound? ( Hint: Mass% values of all the elements in a given compound should ultimately add up to what % ? Show work. Include units (the % symbol) and observe proper sig figs. b) What is the empirical formula of the compound in part a) ? Hint: You are going to have to refer to the periodic table to find molar masses of Si and H at some point during this calculation. Slide # 48 in Chapter 3 will be helpful to refer to. At each step, make sure to include at least four decimal places to avoid over- / under-estimating the empirical formula values.
