Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The extraction of silver from argentite ore, Ag2 S should be described.

Concept introduction:

The extraction of silver will be a reduction procedure. Here, a redox reaction would have to be written to explain the extraction of silver from Ag2 S.

The reaction will be set up on the basis of given information.

In this procedure of extraction, the argentite is first treated with sodium cyanide where it forms the sodium argento cyanide which is later reduced by zinc to precipitate the silver.

Given: You weigh out exactly 0.200 g of Fe(NH4)2(SO4)2·6H2O and dissolve it in the 100.00 mL volumetric flask. You then pipette 2.00 mL of this solution into the 50.00 mL volumetric flask to prepare the stock standard tris-bipyridyl-iron(II) solution. a. Calculate the molar concentration of iron(II) in this solution in the 50.00 mL volumetric flask. (The MW of Fe(NH4)2(SO4)2·6H2O is 392.14 g/mol) (answer a given the information above)
An ore containing magnetite, Fe3O4 was analyzed by dissolving a 1.5419 g sample in concentrated HCl, giving a mixture of Fe2+ and Fe3+. After adding HNO3 to oxidize any Fe2+ to Fe3+, the resulting solution was diluted with water and the Fe3+ precipitated as Fe(OH)3 by adding NH3. After filtering and rinsing, the residue was ignited, giving 0.8525 g of pure Fe2O3. Calculate the %w/w Fe3O4 in the sample.
