The amount of iron in a meteorite is determined by a redox titration using KMnO4 as the titrant. A 2.1800 g sample is dissolved in acid and the liberated Fe3+ quantitatively reduced to Fe2+ using a Walden reductor. Titrating with 0.02500 M KMnO4 requires 22.0 mL to reach the end point. Determine the %w/w Fe2O3 in the sample of meteorite.
