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

1.00/molmassHEME = moles of HEME

molesO2=PV/RT

then, finally,
molesHEME=4*molesO2 and then solve for molemassHEME

To find the molar mass of hemoglobin, we can use the ideal gas law equation, PV = nRT, where P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles, R is the ideal gas constant, and T is the temperature.

First, let's convert the given volume from milliliters (mL) to liters (L):
1.53 mL = 1.53 × 10^(-3) L

Next, we need to calculate the number of moles of O2 that combined with 1.00 g of hemoglobin. To do this, we'll use the ideal gas law equation rearranged to solve for n:
n = PV / RT

The pressure is given as 743 torr, which can be converted to atmospheres (atm):
1 atm = 760 torr
743 torr = 743 / 760 atm ≈ 0.976 atm

The temperature is given as 37 °C, which needs to be converted to Kelvin (K):
T(K) = T(°C) + 273.15
T = 37 °C + 273.15 = 310.15 K

Now, we can calculate the number of moles of O2:
n = (0.976 atm) x (1.53 × 10^(-3) L) / [(0.0821 L·atm/(mol·K)) x (310.15 K)]
n ≈ 4.62 x 10^(-5) mol

Since each molecule of hemoglobin combines with four molecules of O2, the number of moles of hemoglobin will also be 4.62 x 10^(-5) mol.

Finally, we can calculate the molar mass of hemoglobin by dividing its mass by the number of moles:
Molar mass (g/mol) = Mass (g) / Moles (mol)
Molar mass = 1.00 g / 4.62 x 10^(-5) mol
Molar mass ≈ 21,640 g/mol

Therefore, the molar mass of hemoglobin is approximately 21,640 g/mol.

To find the molar mass of hemoglobin, we need to use the given information and some basic calculations.

First, let's convert the volume of O2 from milliliters to liters:
1.53 mL = 1.53 x 10^(-3) L

Next, we need to use the ideal gas law to calculate the number of moles of O2:
PV = nRT

Where:
P = 743 torr (convert to atm by dividing by 760: 743 torr / 760 torr/atm = 0.977 atm)
V = 1.53 x 10^(-3) L
n = number of moles of O2 (to be calculated)
R = ideal gas constant (0.0821 L·atm/(mol·K))
T = 37°C (convert to Kelvin: 37 + 273 = 310 K)

Substituting the values into the equation:
(0.977 atm) (1.53 x 10^(-3) L) = n (0.0821 L·atm/(mol·K)) (310 K)

Solving for n:
n = (0.977 atm * 1.53 x 10^(-3) L) / (0.0821 L·atm/(mol·K) * 310 K)
n = 6.28 x 10^(-5) mol

Since 1 molecule of hemoglobin combines with 4 molecules of O2, we can determine the moles of hemoglobin by dividing the moles of O2 by 4:
moles of hemoglobin = (6.28 x 10^(-5) mol) / 4
moles of hemoglobin = 1.57 x 10^(-5) mol

Finally, to find the molar mass of hemoglobin, we divide the mass by the number of moles:
molar mass of hemoglobin = 1.00 g / (1.57 x 10^(-5) mol)
molar mass of hemoglobin = 6.369 x 10^4 g/mol

Therefore, the molar mass of hemoglobin is approximately 6.369 x 10^4 g/mol.
