Question

2. The amount of iron in a meteorite can be determined by a redox titration using KMnO4 as the titrant. A 0.3983 g sample of meteorite is dissolved in acid and the dissolved Fe3+ is reduced to Fe2+. Titration of the Fe2+ with 0.0238 M KMnO4 requires 41.28 mL to reach the end point. a) Use appropriate half-reactions to write the balanced reaction equation for the titration of MnO4- with Fe2+. (3 pts) b) Determine the %Fe in the sample of meteorite. (3 pts)
