The discussion focuses on determining the percentage of iron (% Fe) in a 2.893 g sample using redox titration with a permanganate solution. The key steps include writing the balanced reaction equation and identifying missing information necessary for solving the problem. Participants emphasize the importance of starting with the reaction equation to clarify what data is required for the calculation. The conversation highlights the need for thorough problem-solving efforts before seeking assistance.

brittni8924 said:If a 2.893 g sample of an unknown containing iron requires 28.45 mL of the permanganate solution described in Pre-Laboratory question 3 to reach the endpoint what is the % Fe in the unknown?
Borek said:I suppose the missing information was listed in the question 3.
Still, reaction equation is a starting point.
