Determining the purity of Iron Wool INTRODUCTION- The principal objective of the experiment was to determine the purity of a sample of iron wool using a form of titration, however, the experiment also highlights the importance of experimental errors and their consequences on the results collected as well as testing the accuracy of lab abilities. Iron (Fe) belongs to the transitions metals group of the periodic table and expresses all the fundamental characteristics that go along with this group, they are predominantly solid metallic in structure with equally high boiling and melting points. It's the bonding in metals such as Iron which enable these types of characteristics, metallic ions such as Fe2+ are produced but the loss of electrons from atoms which along with free moving valence electrons create the "sea" of positively charged ions and negatively charged electrons. Metallic Iron used today is extracted from a combination of Iron ore, Limestone and Coke...
