3. A student uses a class B burette (the error on this burette is + 0.1 mL) to complete a
redox titration with potassium permanganate added to a sample containing aqueous
iron (the balanced reaction is below). An Erlenmeyer flask contains the iron solution
and the titrant is an aqueous solution of 0.125 M KMNO4. The initial volume of KMNO4
in the burette is recorded as "five milliliters" with a final volume recorded as "twelve
milliliters." This is the volume it took to completely react all of the iron in the sample.
5 Fe?* (aq) + MnO4" (aq) + 8 H* (aq) → Mn²* (aq) + 5 Fe* (aq) + 4 H2O (1)
What is the absolute error on the calculated milligrams of iron in this sample?
a. ± 10 mg
b. ±3 mg
c. 17 mg
d. +0.7 mg
e. +4 mg
