Answer is: 65

Thyroxine harmone

\(\rightarrow \ \text{ Molecular formula of Thyroxine }\ \Rightarrow\) \(\mathrm{C}_{15} \mathrm{H}_{11} \mathrm{O}_{4} \mathrm{NI}_{4}\)

\(\rightarrow \text{ Molecular mass of Thyroxine -}\)

\( C \rightarrow 15 \times 12=180\)

\( \mathrm{H} \rightarrow 11 \times 1=11\)

\( \mathrm{O} \rightarrow 16 \times 4=64\)

\( \mathrm{N} \rightarrow 14 \times 1=14\)

\( I \rightarrow 127 \times 4=508\)

\(\rightarrow \text{Molecular mass of Thyroxine }\Rightarrow 777\)

\( \rightarrow \%\ \text{of Iodine }=\frac{508}{777} \times 100\)

\(=65.38 \%\)

\( \text{Nearest integer} =65\)
