Twenty dietary iron tablets with a total mass of 131 g were ground and mixed thoroughly. Then 2.998 g of the powder were dissolved in HN03 and heated to convert all the iron to Fe3+ . Addition of NH3 caused quantitative precipitation of Fe2O3 x H20, which was ignited to give 0.264 g of Fe2O3 ( FM 159.69). What is the average mass of FeS04.7H20 ( FM 278.01) in each tablet?

  1. Twenty dietary iron tablets with a total mass of 131 g were ground and mixed thoroughly. Then 2.998 g of the powder were dissolved in HN03 and heated to convert all the iron to Fe3+ . Addition of NH3 caused quantitative precipitation of Fe2O3 x H20, which was ignited to give 0.264 g of Fe2O3 ( FM 159.69). What is the average mass of FeS04.7H20 ( FM 278.01) in each tablet?
  2. Consider a mixture of the two solids BaCl22H20 (FM 244.26) and KCl (FM 74.551). When the mixture is heated to 160 °C for 1 h, the water of crystallization is driven off. A sample originally weighing 1.7839 g weighed 1.5623 g after heating.
