The amount of iron in a meteorite was determined by a redox titration using KMnO4 as the titrant. A  0.4185 -g sample was dissolved in acid and the liberated Fe3+ quantitatively reduced to Fe2+, using a reductor column. Titrating with 0.0051 M KMnO4 requires 23.44 mL to reach the end point. Determine the %w/w Fe2O3 in the sample of meteorite. (Fe = 55.845 amu, Fe2O3 = 159.69 g/mol
