From the Fe2+ concentrations given determine the mg of Fe in the original vitamin tablet. You will need to convert ug/mL into mg of iron. You also have to consider that the original vitamin tablet sample was diluted to 250mL in a volumetric flask and then 5mL of that sample was diluted to 100mL in a volumetric flask. Please show all equations used and work done. 1. Concentration of 0.141738 2. Concentration of 0.1307058 3. Concentration of 0.1354047
