A scientist was tasked to extract Fe from an aqueous suspension that contains 106 g of Fe2O3. The following steps detail the transformation of Fe2O3 (aq) to elemental iron. I. Enough sulfur trioxide gas was bubbled to FezO3 aqueous suspension to completely yield ferric sulfate. I. Then, 5.00 M nitric acid was added to ferric sulfate yielding aqueous solution of ferric nitrate. III. Excess magnesium powder was added to the aqueous solution of ferric nitrate precipitating the solid iron.
