The Fe content in a water sample from a well was determined by subjecting an aliquot of 25.00mL of sample to treatment with HNO3, excess SCN- and finally a dilution of the treated solution to 50.00ml with distilled water. A 10.00mL aliquot of a 5.97 x 10-4M Fe3 + solution was treated in the same way. It was observed that the color of both solutions was the same when the optical path of the standard solution was 3.04cm and that of the well water sample was 2.61cm. Determine the ppm of Fe in the well water sample.

The Fe content in a water sample from a well was determined by subjecting an aliquot of 25.00ml
of sample to treatment with HNO3, excess SCN- and finally a dilution of the treated solution to
50.00mL with distilled water. A 10.00ml aliquot of a 5.97 x 10-4M Fe3 + solution was treated in
the same way. It was observed that the color of both solutions was the same when the optical
path of the standard solution was 3.04cm and that of the well water sample was 2.61cm.
Determine the ppm of Fe in the well water sample.
