Again pipette out 25.0 ml of the haematite solution into a conical flask. Treat with
SnCl2 and HgCl2 as before. Add 2 test tubes of distilled water. Now add most of the
potassium dichromate solution required at a stretch and further titrate drop wise testing
as explained earlier, till no blue color is developed with the indicator. Repeat for
agreeing values.

Observation and Calculations:
Part- A:
Weight of the bottle + K2Cr2O7 crystals = W1 = ------------------------------ g
Weight of the empty bottle = W2 = --------------------------- g
Weight of K2Cr2O7 crystals = (W1 – W2) = -------------------- g.
(W1 W2 ) 4
N K 2Cr2O7
Eq. wt. of K 2 Cr2 O 7 (49)
= ------------------N
Part-B:
Burette : Standard K2Cr2O7
Conical flask : 25.0 ml of haematite ore solution + 5ml of 4N HCl ,boil +
SnCl2 Drop wise till solution becomes colorless, 2 drops in
excess ,cool + 5ml of HgCl2 + 1 t.t. of water
Indicator : Potassium ferricyanide [external]
Colour change: Indicator fails to give blue color with reaction mixture
___ X100
Therefore 100g of haematite ore contains = g Iron
w
Result: Percentage of Iron in given Haematite ore =
