What is the percentage of iron in an iron ore that is 60.0% by mass iron(III) oxide?
Question:
What is the percentage of iron in an iron ore that is 60.0% by mass iron(III) oxide?
The processing of iron ores:
Iron ore is majorly distributed by iron-bearing minerals such as oxides and has haematite {eq}Fe_2O_3 {/eq} as the chief ore. It, therefore, explains the relationship between the percentage mass of iron from the ore, which can be mathematically calculated using moles and molar mass of the primary ore.
