Question

If we assume the mass of a large egg is 55 g of which 2.7 g is egg whites and ovomucin makes up 2 %. The molar mass of ovomucin is 254,000 g/mol. How many ovomucin molecules are in a single egg?

Report your answer in scientific notation with 2 decimal place and in the form #.##e##.

Answer 1

The question is not clear to me.
Is that 2.7 g egg white and ovumucin or is that 2.7 g egg white and ovumucin = 2% of the 55 g total?

Answer 2

I believe the latter, my professor isn't always super clear with his questions.
