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 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.

Atomic masses can be determined by electrolysis. In one hour, a current of 0.600 A deposits 2.42 g of a certain metal, M, which is present in solution as M+ ions. What is the atomic mass of the metal?
In theory, most metals should easily corrode in air. Why? A group of metals called the noble metals are relatively difficult to corrode in air. Some noble metals include gold, platinum, and silver. Reference Table 17-1 to come up with a possible reason why the noble metals are relatively difficult to corrode.
