2. A sample consists of a mixture of Fe(NO3)2 (s) and Fe(NO3)3 (s) in unknown proportion. A total of 3.65 g of the mixture was dissolved in phosphoric acid solution and titrated with 0.135 M KMnO4. A total of 11.79 mL of the KMnO4 solution was required to reach the end-point of the titration. Note: as per the reaction equation in question 1, above, KMnO4 reacts only with Fe(NO3)2 in the mixture: the KMnO4 will not react with Fe(NO3)3. What was the % by mass of Fe(NO3)2 in the solid mixture?
