Question

CONCLUSIONS: Suppose a student is given 5.375 g of a powdered mixture to

separate. Because the mixture contains iron shavings, he decides to separate
them using a magnet. He obtains 1.824 g of iron. What is the mass percent of
iron in the mixture?
33.93%

Answer 1

`\%Fe=33.93\%`

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the mass percent of iron is computed via the division of the mass of iron by the mass of the mixture including the 100 %:

`\%Fe=(m_(Fe))/(m_(mixture))*100\%`

Considering the given data we obtain:

`\%Fe=(1.824g)/(5.375g)*100\%\\ \\\%Fe=33.93\%`

Best regards.
