To determine the amount of magnetite, Fe3O4 in an impure ore, a 1.5419 g sample is dissolved in concentrated HCl to obtain a mixture of Fe2 + and Fe3 +. After HNO3 is added to oxidize Fe2 + to Fe3 + and diluted with water, Fe3 + is precipitated as Fe (OH) 3 by adding NH3. 0.8525 g of pure Fe2O3 is obtained by filtering, rinsing and burning the precipitate. Calculate the percentage of Fe3O4% in the sample. (Fe = 55,847g / mol, O = 15,999g / mol)
