A 0.700-g sample is analyzed spectrophotometrically for manganese by dissolving it in acid and transferring to a 250-ml flask and diluting to volume. Three aliquots are analyzed by transferring 50-mL portions with a pipet to 500-mL Erlenmeyer flasks and reacting with an oxidizing agent, potassium peroxydisulfate, to convert the manganese to permanganate. After reaction, these are quantitatively transferred to 250-mL volumetric flasks, diluted to volume, and measured spectrophotometrically. By comparison with standards, the average concentration in the final solution is determined to be 1.25 x 10-5 M. What is the percent manganese in the sample? 3.92% 0.12% 5.10% 0.03%
