One of the reactions that occurs in a blast furnace, where iron ore is converted to cast iron, is below.
Fe2O3 + 3 CO 2 Fe + 3 CO2
Suppose that 1.86 103 kg of Fe are obtained from a 5.98 103 kg sample of Fe2O3. Assuming that the reaction goes to completion, what is the percent purity of Fe2O3 in the original sample?
