Redox Titration -Determine the % of Iron II and Iron III
« on: February 19, 2008, 02:19:38 PM »
determine the % of iron II and iron III in a mixture containing both, where i am given 200cm3 of a solution containing 1.3g of iron ions(Fe 2+ Fe 3+) using potassium magnanete.
I wrote down the equation already, and method, but i don't know how to work out the % from it :/
Can you please help or any ideas how to start?

Titrating an aliquot of your sample with the potassium manganate will allow you to determine the concentration of Iron (II) in the sample, if you know that and the total iron in the sample the rest is easy.  8)
Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

If you have concentration of the Fe2+ion and know the volume of your aliquot, you can get mol of Fe2+, then calculate gms Fe2+.

mass Fe2+/volume aliquot =  total mass of Fe2+/200cm3 sample


total mass Fe2+/ 1.3g  = %

gms = grams = g  :-\
