Question

Magnetite has a chemical formula of Fe3O4. The atomic mass of iron (Fe) is 56 g/mole, and for oxygen (O) is 16 g/mole. What is the mass (in grams) of a mole of magnetite? 

Answer g/mole 

 

 

Next, consider the mass of oxygen that must be removed from a mole of magnetite during the purification process, in order to yield pure iron. What is the mass percentage of magnetite represented by pure iron? 

Answer %

 

 

Suppose a new and potentially economic ore body has been identified. It contains 60% magnetite by mass. How much iron will a metric ton (=1000 kg) of this ore yield? 

Answer kg of Fe per 1 metric ton of ore.
