The average human body contains 5.70 L of blood with a Fe2+ concentration of 3.20×10−5 M . If a person ingests 7.00 mL of 24.0 mM NaCN, what percentage of iron(II) in the blood would be sequestered by the cyanide ion?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Number of moles of NaCN , n = Molarity x volume in L

                                           = 24.0 mM x 7.00mL

                                          = 24.0x10-3 x 7.00x10-3 L

                                          = 1.68x10-4 mol

The balanced reaction between Fe2+ & NaCN is Fe(OH)2 + 2 NaCN Fe(CN)2 + 2 NaOH

From the above reaction

2 moles of NaCN reacts with 1 mole of Fe2+

1.68x10-4 mol of NaCN reacts with (1.68x10-4 )/2 = 8.4x10-5 mole of Fe2+

So Concentration of Fe2+ that would be reacted with Cyanide ion is

   = number of moles of Fe2+ reacted / total volume

   = 8.4x10-5 mol / 5.70 L
   = 1.47x10-5 M

Therefore the percentage of Iron(II) in the blood that sequestered is = [(1.47x10-5 )/(3.20x10-5)]x100

                                                                                                 = 46.05 %
