0.33% of Iron by weight means 100 gms of heamoglobin has 0.33g of iron

100 g of heamoglobin contains iron = 0.33 g

67200 g of heamoglobin contains iron 
 

0.33 ×67200100=221.76 gms of Fe

Atomic Wt. of Fe = 56

Number of Iron atoms = Weight of iron in haemoglobinAtomic Wt.


Number of Fe- atoms =221.7656 =3.96 4
