To determine the amount of magnetite, Fe3O4, in an impure ore, a 1.5419-g sample is dissolved in concentrated HCl, giving a mixture of Fe2+ and Fe3+. After adding HNO3 to oxidize Fe2+ to Fe3+ and diluting with water, Fe3+ is precipitated as Fe(OH)3 by adding NH3. Filtering, rinsing, and igniting the precipitate provides 0.8525 g of pure Fe2O3.
