A standard iron solution was prepared by dissolving 0.0140 g of pure iron in acid then transferring to a 50.00 mL volumetric flask with orthophenanthroline as a complexing agent. At a wavelength of 540 nm, the absorbance of the standard was 0.214 in a 1.00 cm cuvette. A 0.128 g sample of an iron ore was crushed and digested in 5 mL of concentrated acid. The digested sample was then transferred to a 10.00 mL volumetric flask and diluted to the mark with water. A 1.00 mL aliquot of the sample was transferred to a 25.00 mL volumetric flask, and diluted to the mark with water. A portion of the diluted sample was then transferred to a 1.00 cm cuvette and measured at a wavelength of 540 nm. The resulting absorbance was 0.216. Determine the % w/w of Fe in the iron ore.

Roberta decided to find out the content of nickel (Ni) in a sample. She dissolved the 0.0882 g sample in about 30 mL of nitric acid, and after adding an excess of 8- hydroxyquinolinol (HQL), she diluted the solution with deionized water to a final volume of 250 mL. This final solution showed an absorbance of 0.694 at 365 nm, the wavelength of maximal absorbance of the Ni (HQL) complex, when measured in a 1.00 cm cuvette. Knowing that the trendline from the calibration curve for the Ni(HQL) complex at 365 nm is y = 1500x + 0.029 and that the atomic mass of nickel is 58.693 g/mol, calculate the percent content of Ni by mass in the sample. What is the % nickel by mass in the sample? (a) 5.31 percent (b) 7.38 percent. (c) 7.70 percent. (d) 7.4 percent. (e) None of these

You want to determine the amount of iron(III) in acomplex salt. You make a 100.0 mL solution of the complex salt by dissolving 0.0670 g of complex salt with water to the mark on a 100.0 mL volumetric flask. You get an absorbance reading for the iron from the spectrometer of 0.334. The molar absorptivity is determined to be 17605 L/mole∙cm and the pathlength is 1.00 cm. Determine the molarity of iron(III) in solution. Determine the mass percentage of iron(III) in the complex salt.
A sample of an iron ore was prepared for Fe3+ analysis as following: 3.4g of the sample was added anddissolved in acid environment then diluted to 250 mL using volumetric flask. After that, 10 mL of the resultingsolution was transferred by pipet to a 50-mL volumetric flask and continue to be diluted. The scientists foundout that this solution gives the concentration of Fe3+ as 2.3 mg/L. Find the weight percentage of Fe3+ in theoriginal sample.
