A powder contains FeSO4⋅7H2O (molar mass=278.01 g/mol), among other components. A 3.825 g sample of the powder was dissolved in HNO3 and heated to convert all iron to Fe3+. The addition of NH3 precipitated Fe2O3⋅?H2O, which was subsequently ignited to produce 0.532 g Fe2O3. What was the mass of FeSO4⋅7H2O in the 3.825 g sample?
