Question:

A titanium ore contains rutile (TiO2) plus some iron oxide and silica. When it is heated with carbon in the presence of chlorine, titanium tetrachloride, TiCl4, is formed.
TiO2(s) + C(s) + 2Cl2(g) → TiCl4(g) + CO2(g)
Titanium tetrachloride, a liquid, can be distilled from the mixture. If 35.4 g of titanium tetrachloride is recovered from 17.4 g of crude ore, what is the mass percentage of TiO2 in the ore (assuming all TiO2 reacts)?
