One of the reactions that occur in the production of iron [Fe] from the hematite [fe203] can be represented by the f e203/3CO-2 Fe/ 3CO2 eguation .the porcentoge iron mass in the hermatite/considering it pure .is Atomic massis: Fe-56u;O-16u

Atomic mass of Hematite = Fe2O3

M = 56*2 + 16*3 = 112+48 = 160

% mass of Iron = 112/160 * 100 = 70%

So, your answer is 70%
