To find the molecular mass of hemoglobin based on the given data, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the mass of iron in the sample Given that the sample of hemoglobin weighs 0.534 g and contains 0.34% Fe, we can calculate the mass of iron in the sample. \[ \text{Mass of Fe} = \frac{0.34}{100} \times 0.534 \text{ g} = 0.00181 \text{ g} \] ...
