Question

Hemoglobin is the protein that transports O₂ through the blood from the lungs to the rest of the body. In doing so, each molecule of hemoglobin combines with four molecules of O₂. If 1.00 g of hemoglobin combines with 1.53 mL of O₂ at 37°C and 743 torr, what is the molar mass of hemoglobin?

Step 1

Given: Pressure (P) = 743 torr = 0.977 atm (since 1 atm = 760 torr) Volume (V) = 1.53 mL = 0.00153 L Gas constant (R) = 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K Temperature (T) = 37°C = 310 K n = PV/RT n = (0.977 atm)(0.00153 L) / (0.0821 L.atm/mol.K)(310 K) n = 5.8 x 10^-5 moles Show more…
