A sample of unknown iron ore weighs 0.35 g. It is digested using dilute HCl. An SnCl2 solution is added to turn the solution yellow. Zimmermann–Reinhardt reagent is added, and the solution is diluted to 150mL. It is then titrated with 31.30 mL of 0.045 M potassium permanganate.  a) How many moles of MnO4- were used to titrate the iron in the sample? b) How many moles of Fe2+ were in the sample? c) What is the mass of iron in the sample? d) What is the % w/w of Fe in the sample?
