MCQ
A $400\, mg$ iron capsule contains $100\, mg$ of ferrous fumarate, ${(CHCOO)_2}Fe$. The percentage of iron pasent in it is approximately ........... $\%$
  • A
    $33$
  • B
    $25$
  • C
    $14$
  • $8$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$8$
d
(d) Molecular weight of ${(CHCOO)_2}Fe = 170$

$Fe$ present in $100\,mg$ of ${(CHCOO)_2}Fe$

$ = \frac{{56}}{{170}} \times 100\,mg = 32.9\,mg$

This is present in $400\,mg$ of capsule

$\%$ of $Fe$ in capsule $ = \frac{{32.9}}{{400}} \times 100 = 8.2$.
