How much iron is there in the hemoglobin of a 70 -kg adult? Assume that the blood volume is $70 \mathrm{ml}$ $\mathrm{kg}^{-1}$ of body weight and that the hemoglobin content of blood is $0.16 \mathrm{g} \mathrm{ml}^{-1}$

Iron content. How much iron is there in the hemoglobin of a $70-\mathrm{kg}$ adult? Assume that the blood volume is $70 \mathrm{ml}$ $\mathrm{kg}^{-1}$ of body weight and that the hemoglobin content of blood is $0.16 \mathrm{g} \mathrm{ml}^{-1}.$
Hemoglobin (C2952H4664N812O832S8Fe4) is the oxygen carrier in blood. a. Calculate its molar mass. b. An average adult has about 5.2 L of blood. Every milliliter of blood has approximately 5.0 × 109 erythrocytes, or red blood cells, and every red blood cell has about 2.8 × 108 hemoglobin molecules. Calculate the mass of hemoglobin molecules in grams in an average adult.
