Magnetite Question
« on: October 04, 2009, 07:36:45 PM »
An ore containing magnetite, Fe3O4, was analyzed by dissolving a 1.5149 g sample in conentrated HCL, yielding a mixture of Fe2+ and Fe3+, the resulting solution was diluted with water (to 50.00 ml) and the Fe3+ precipitated as Fe(OH)3 by adding NH3. After filtering and rising, the residue was ignited, yielding 0.8525g of pure Fe2O3.

What is  the weight percent Fe3O4 in the sample? What is the % w/w Fe?

I know this is probably easy but im lost  :'(

Please read forum rules.

Start with reaction equations.
