Hemoglobin is a large protein molecule that is responsible for carrying oxygen through the blood. iron ions are a relatively small component of hemoglobin. there are four fe2+ions that are part of the much larger hemoglobin structure. in a single red blood cell there are 2.50x108molecules of hemoglobin. if a single fe2+ion has an atomic radius of 75.1 pm and a redblood cell has a volume of 95 μm3, what percentage of the total red blood cell volume is taken up by fe2+ions?

The percentage of volume taken by iron(II) in the blood cell is 0.0019%.

Explanation:

Radius of iron(II) ions ,r= 75.1 pm =

1 pm = 10^{-6} μm

Volume of sphere  =

Volume of single iron(II) ion = V

Number of iron(II) ions in one hemoglobin structure = 4

Number of hemoglobin structure in blood cell = molecules

Then number of iron (II) ions in molecules of hemoglobin:

Volume of ions of iron =

Volume of the  hemoglobin structure,V' =

Percentage volume of iron (II) ions in a single blood cell:

=

alfred von schlieffen, german army chief of staff, was given instructions to devise a strategy that would be able to counter a joint attack. in december, 1905, he began circulating what later became known as the schlieffen plan. schlieffen argued that if war took place it was vital that france was speedily defeated.
