How much iron will be present in one molecule of hemoglobin if hemoglobin has 0.25 percent by mass iron and the molecular mass of hemoglobin is 89600u?

If a quarter of the mass of the molecule is iron and the mass of the molecule is 89600u, then the mass of iron is 22400u ... a quarter of the total mass.

What is a molecular mass?
it is the sum of the atomic masses of all the elements present in a molecule.
Can covalent bonds be present in metal molecules?
There is really no such thing as a "metal molecule" although there do exist molecules that have some metals in them. There are no molecules made entirely out of metal (since you would get a metallic bond, and hence a metal, rather than a molecule). The hemoglobin molecule is a good example of an organic molecule which also contains iron. And yes, in hemoglobin, the iron has a covalent bond.
The molecule responsible for carrying oxygen through the human body is?
hemogoblin
What is hemoglobin and where is it found?
An Iron containing protein and is located on oxygencontaining molecule.
What is tha molecular formula?
The molecular formula is used to get the total number of atoms belonging to each element that is present in a single molecule of a particular compound. The formula is common in physics, chemical engineering and chemistry.
How does a hemoglobin live without having a nucleus?
Hemoglobin is not a living thing. Hemoglobin is simply a molecule capable of temporarily binding with oxygen and carrying that oxygen to where it is needed, then giving it up and returning to be reoxygenated. Hemoglobin is present in red blood cells, but does not metabolize, neither does it generate nor utilize energy itself, generally considered parameters that define 'living'.
What blood cell collects hemoglobin?
Hemoglobin is present in red blood cells.
What is he pigment that is present inRBC?
the answer is hemoglobin.
What is the inorganic element present in hemoglobin?
All of the elements in hemoglobin are inorganic. The important element is iron, which allows hemoglobin to carry oxygen (and carbon dioxide).The elements present in hemoglobin are iron, sulfur, nitrogen, carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
Do protein in your body includes chlorophyll and hemoglobin?
Hemoglobin present while chlorophyll absent .
What is the molecular mass of glucose whose molecular formula is c6h12o6?
Well first you should determine the molecular mass of your glucose molecule, then you should divide the molecular mass of all the carbon by this, if I recall correctly. Should look something like (12X6) / ((6X12)+(12X1)+(6X16)) All multiplied by 100 to make it a percentage. Gives something like 40% which sounds like the right answer looking at the question.
How is hemoglobin important for the body?
Each molecule of hemoglobin combines with 4 oxygen molecules to carry oxygen from the lungs through the bloodstream to the organs.
