Chapter 4, Problem 4.22QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The milligrams of hemoglobin present in per milliliters of the blood and the molar mass of hemoglobin is given. The number of moles of hemoglobin present in the given volume of the blood is to be determined.

Concept introduction: The molarity of the solution is calculated by the formula,

$\text{Molarity}=\frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}\text{of}\text{soltion}\text{in}\text{mL}}\times \frac{1000}{\text{Molar}\text{mass}}$

The number of moles is calculated by the formula,

$\text{Number}\text{of}\text{moles}=\text{Molarity}\times \text{Volume}\text{of}\text{the}\text{solution}\text{in}\text{liter}$

To determine: The number of moles of hemoglobin in the given volume of the blood.
