A 0.500g iron ore sample is dissolved and all iron is converted to FeX2+, which needs 21.5mL of 0.0200MKX2CrX2OX7. Taking the molar mass of FeX2OX3 as 160gmol−1, the mass percent of FeX2OX3 is
A82.6%
B41.3%
C20.6%
D28.9%
Answer: B
mol Fe2+ = 6 x (0.0215 x 0.0200) = 2.580e-03. Each Fe2O3 gives 2 Fe, so mol Fe2O3 = 1.290e-03, mass = 0.2064 g. Percent = 0.2064/0.500 x 100 = 41.28%.
