The data below is from an experiment used to determine the percentage of iron present in a
sample of iron ore. This sample was dissolved in acid and all of the iron was converted to Fe2+.
The resulting solution was titrated with a standard solution of potassium manganate(VII),
KMnO4. This procedure was carried out three times. In acidic solution, MnO4– reacts with Fe2+
ions to form Mn2+ and Fe3+ and the end point is indicated by a slight pink colour.
