A solution contains both iron(II) and iron(III) ions. A sample Of the solution is titrated with 35.0 ml, of M KMnO4, which oxidizes Fe2+ to Fe3+. The permanganate ion is reduced to manganese(ll) ion. The equation for this reaction is MnO4(aq)+8 H+(aq)+5Fe2+(aq)Mn2+(aq)+5Fe3+ +4H2OAnother 50.00-mL sample of the solution is treated with zinc, which reduces all the Fe3+ to Fe2+. The equation for this reaction is 2Fe3+(aq)+Zn(s)2Fe2+(aq)+Zn2+(aq)The resulting solution is again titrated with 0.0280 M KMnO4; this time 48.0 ml, is required. What are the concentrations of Fe2+ and Fe3+ in the solution?
The iron content of hemoglobin is determined by destroying the hemoglobin molecule and producing small water-soluble ions and molecules. The iron in the aqueous solution is reduced to iron(II) ion and then titrated against potassium permanganate. In the titration, iron(ll) is oxidized to iron(III) and permanganate is reduced to manganese(II) ion. A 5.00-g sample of hemoglobin requires 32.3 mL of a 0.002100 M solution of potassium permanganate. The reaction with permanganate ion is MnO4(aq)+8H+(aq)+5Fe2+(aq)Mn2+(aq)+5Fe3+(aq)+4H2O What is the mass percent of iron in hemoglobin?

A researcher dissolved 1.382g of impure copper in nitric acid to produce a solution of Cu(NO3)2. The solution went through a series of steps in which Cu(NO3)2 was changed to Cu(OH)2, then to CuO, and then to a solution of CuCl2. This was treated with an excess of a soluble phosphate, precipitating all the copper in the original sample as pure Cu3(PO4)2. The precipitate was dried and weighed. Is mass was 2.637g. Find the percentage by mass of copper in the original sample.

The element carbon undergoes many inorganic reactions, as well as being the basis for the field of organic chemistry. Write balanced chemical equations for the reactions of carbon described below. l type='a'> Carbon burns in an excess of oxygen (for example. in the air) to produce carbon dioxide. If the supply of oxygen is limited, carbon will still burn but will produce carbon monoxide rather than carbon dioxide. molten lithium metal is treated with carbon, lithium car bide, Li2C2 , is produced. i>Iron(II) oxide reacts with carbon above temperatures of about 700 °C to produce carbon monoxide gas and molten elemental iron. i>Carbon reacts with fluorine gas at high temperatures to make carbon tetrafluoride.
