Question

The iron content of iron ore can be determined by titration with K₂Cr₂O₇ according to the equation

14H⁺(aq) + Cr₂O₇²⁻(aq) + 6Fe²⁺(aq) → 6Fe³⁺(aq) + 2Cr³⁺(aq) + 7H₂O(l)

Diphenyl amine is used as an indicator as it changes color from green to purple when the endpoint is reached. A sample of iron ore with a mass of 1.753 g was dissolved with HCl and then treated with a reducing agent to convert any Fe³⁺ in the ore to Fe²⁺. Titration with 0.0765 M K₂Cr₂O₇ solution required 40.25 mL of the solution to reach the endpoint. The molar mass of Fe is 55.85 g/mol. Calculate mass percent iron in the ore.
