- An iron ore was analyzed by dissolving a 1.957-g sample in concentrated HCl. The resulting solution was diluted with water, and the iron(III) was precipitated as the hydrous oxide Fe2O3·xH2O by the addition of NH3. After filtration and washing, the residue was ignited at a high temperature to give 0.6009 g of pure Fe2O3. Calculate (a) the % Fe and (b) the % Fe3O4 in the sample.arrow_forwardBalance the following equation: Fe(s) + O2(g)——-> Fe2O3(s)arrow_forwardThe calcium from a sample of limestone weighing 699mg was precipitated as CaC2O4 and ignited to CaO weighing 138.1mg.
