A 3.0g sample containing Fe(3)O(4),Fe(2)...

A `3.0g` sample containing `Fe_(3)O_(4),Fe_(2)O_(3)` and an inert impure substance is treated with excess of `KI` solution in presence of dilute `H_(2)SO_(4)`. The entire iron is converted to `Fe^(2+)` along with the liberation of iodine. The resulting solution is diluted to `100 mL`. A `20 mL` of dilute solution requires `11.0 mL` of `0.5M Na_(2)S_(2)O_(3)` solution to reduce the iodine present. `A` `50 mL` of the diluted solution, after complete extraction of iodine requires `12.80 mL` of `0.25M KMnO_(4)` solution in dilute `H_(2)SO_(4)` medium for the oxidation of `Fe^(2+)`. Calculate the percentage of `Fe_(2)O_(3)` and `Fe_(3)O_(4)` in the original sample.
