To determine the amount of magnetite. Fe3O4, in an impure ore, a 1.5419 g sample is dissolved in concentrated HCl, resulting in 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 using NH3. Filtering, rinsing and igniting the ppt provides 0.8525 g of pure Fe2O3. Calculate % Fe in the sample.
