Answer:
68325.8 g/mol
Explanation:
Given that:
Pressure = 743 torr
Temperature = 37 °C
The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:
T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15
So,
T = (37 + 273.15) K = 310.15 K
T = 310.15 K
Volume = 2.30 mL = 0.00230 L ( 1 mL = 0.001 L)
Using ideal gas equation as:
PV=nRT
where,
P is the pressure
V is the volume
n is the number of moles
T is the temperature
R is Gas constant having value = 62.364 L.torr/K.mol
Applying the equation as:
743 torr × 0.00230 L = n × 62.364 L.torr/K.mol × 310.15 K
⇒n = 8.84 × 10⁻⁵ moles
Since, given that:-
4 moles of oxygen gas is transferred by 1 mole of haemoglobin.
8.84 × 10⁻⁵ moles of oxygen gas is transferred by 8.84 × 10⁻⁵/4 moles of haemoglobin.
Moles of haemoglobin = 2.21 × 10⁻⁵ moles
Mass = 1.51 g
The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:
[tex]moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}[/tex]
Thus,
[tex]2.21\times 10^{-5}\ mol= \frac{1.51\ g}{Molar\ mass}[/tex]
[tex]Molar\ mass= 68325.8\ g/mol[/tex]
