Calamine, which is used for relief of skin irritations, is a mixture of zinc and iron oxides. A 1.022-g sample of dried calamine was dissolved in acid and diluted to 250.0 mL. A 50.00 mL aliquot was suitably buffered and titrated with 2.40 mL of 0.002727 M ZnY-2 (Zn-EDTA) solution to allow the following reaction: Fe+3 + ZnY-2 → FeY- + Zn+2.  Molecular mass:   Fe2O3  = 165.74 a. The weight of sample in the aliquot portion is _________g ? b. the percentage composition of Fe2O3 in the sample is ______ % ?
