Chapter 21, Problem 48E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
To determine if the given empirical formula for crysotile is consistent with the oxidation states of the elements present in it.
Concept introduction:
The empirical formula of a given chemical compound refers to the simple positive integer ratio of all the atoms present in it. By the term oxidation number one refers to the charge that an atom could have carried if the compound is composed of ions only.

A slag sample is known to contain all of its iron in the forms of FeO and Fe2O3. A sample of 1,000 g of the slag was dissolved in hydrochloric acid according to the usual method, then reduced with stannous chloride and finally titrated with a 0.02237 M solution of potassium permanganate, of which 28.59 mL were used. A second aliquot of the slag sample, weighing 1,500, was dissolved in a nitrogen atmosphere to further adjust the oxidation state of the iron, it was immediately titrated with the same potassium permanganate solution. If this second experiment required 15.60 mL of permanganate solution, calculate:
a) The percentage of total iron in the slag.
b) The percentages of the oxide FeO and Fe2O3
Define the term silicates?
100.0 g of a ground mineral sample consisting of a mixture of
M9CO3 (magnesite) and BaCO: (witherite) was heated to
completely convert the carbonates to their metal oxides. After the
reaction 55.35 g of the metal oxide mixture was obtained. What
was the mass of M9CO3 in the original sample?

The sodium chromate is dissolved in water, and this solutionis acidified with sulfuric acid to produce the less soluble sodiumdichromate. The sodium dichromate is filtered out and reduced with carbon to produce chromium(III) oxide, sodium carbonate,and carbon monoxide.
