Question
2. A supplement was tested for iron content in a laboratory. First, a random sample of 10 tablets
weighing a total of 13.7421 g was turned into fine powder. A scoop of this powder weighing
2.7544 g was then dissolved and precipitated as Fe(OH)3 which was then rinsed and ignited to a
constant weight as Fe₂O3 (159.69 g/mol). The recorded constant weight of Fe₂O3 is 0.2629 g.
a. What is the %Fe (55.85 g/mol) content of the supplement?
b. What is the iron content of the supplement reported as g FeSO4.7H₂O (277.908 g/mol)
per tablet?
