Correct answer: 65

  1. Identify the molecular formula of thyroxine from the given structure
    Thyroxine has the formula: C15H11I4NO4\mathrm{C_{15}H_{11}I_4NO_4}C15​H11​I4​NO4​ So, it contains 4 iodine atoms.

  2. Calculate molar mass of thyroxine

    Using the given atomic masses:

    • Carbon: 15×12=18015 \times 12 = 18015×12=180
    • Hydrogen: 11×1=1111 \times 1 = 1111×1=11
    • Iodine: 4×127=5084 \times 127 = 5084×127=508
    • Nitrogen: 1×14=141 \times 14 = 141×14=14
    • Oxygen: 4×16=644 \times 16 = 644×16=64

    Therefore, total molar mass: 180+11+508+14+64=777180 + 11 + 508 + 14 + 64 = 777180+11+508+14+64=777

  3. Mass of iodine in one mole of thyroxine 4×127=5084 \times 127 = 5084×127=508

  4. Percentage of iodine % iodine=508777×100\%\text{ iodine} = \frac{508}{777} \times 100% iodine=777508​×100

    % iodine≈65.38%\%\text{ iodine} \approx 65.38\%% iodine≈65.38%

  5. Nearest integer 65\boxed{65}65​

  6. Comparison with stored answer
    Stored correct answer = 656565
    Derived answer = 656565
    Hence, they agree.
