Six equivalents of Fe+2 react with one equivalent of Cr2O72- Two sources of Fe+2 reacted with the Cr2O72- so the total molar amount of Cr2O72- must be equal to one-sixth the sum of the molar amount of Fe+2 from the two sources. Each molar amount m can be determined as the product of concentration c and volume V.
6mCr2O72- = mFe+2,water + mFe+2
6 cCr2O72 VCr2o72- = mFe+2,water + CFe+2 VFe+2
6 (2.517 X 10-3 M)(2.500 X 10-2L) = mFe+2,water + (9.49 X 10-3 M)(8.53 X 10-3 L)
3.776 X 10-4 mol = mFe+2,water +8.09 X 10-5 mol
mFe+2,water = 2.967 X 10-4 mol
use the molar mass of Fe to determine the milligram amount Fe in the sample
? mg Fe = (2.967 X 10-4 mol Fe) X (55.845 g Fe / 1 mol Fe) X (103 mg / 1 g)
? mg Fe = 16.56 mg Fe
In dilute solutions, ppm is equivalent to milligrams per liter. Use this to determine the ppm concentration of Fe in the sample
? mg Fe = 16.56 mg Fe / 0.1000 L
? mg Fe = 165.6 ppm Fe
the concentration of iron in the sample is 165.6 ppm
