An iron ore sample contains Fe2O3 plus other impurities. A 742-g sample of impure iron ore is heated with excess carbon, producing 462 g of pure iron by the following reaction.
Fe2O3(s) + 3 C(s) 2 Fe(s) + 3 CO(g)
What is the mass percent of Fe2O3 in the impure iron ore sample? Assume that Fe2O3 is the only source of iron and that the reaction is 100% efficient. %
