Gravimetric Problems To determine the amount of iron in a dietary supplement, a random sample of 15 tablets weighing a total of 20.505 g was ground into a fine powder. A 3.116-g sample of the powdered tablets was dissolved and treated to precipitate the iron as Fe(OH), The precipitate was collected, rinsed, and ignited to a constant weight as Fe,O, yielding 0.355 g. Report the iron content of the dietary supplement as g FESO, 7H;O per tablet.
