An ore containing magnetite, Fe
3O
4, was analyzed by dissolving a 1.5149 g sample in conentrated HCL, yielding a mixture of Fe
2+ and Fe
3+, the resulting solution was diluted with water (to 50.00 ml) and the Fe
3+ precipitated as Fe(OH)
3 by adding NH
3. After filtering and rising, the residue was ignited, yielding 0.8525g of pure Fe
2O
3.
What is the weight percent Fe
3O
4 in the sample? What is the % w/w Fe?
I know this is probably easy but im lost
