Iron (III) can be separated from other metals, such as chromium, by extraction into ether from a strong aqueous HCl solution. If 50 mL of aqueous HCl containing 0.25 g of iron(III) is treated with 150 mL of ether in a one-shot process, how many milligrams of iron is left in the aqueous phase? Use a value of 50 for the distribution ratio.
