4.3 Exercise 18

Avg difficulty 2.5

The toxic pigment called white lead, Pb3(OH)2(CO3)2, has been replaced in white paints by rutile, TiO2. How much rutile (g) can be prepared from 379 g of an ore that contains 88.3% ilmenite (FeTiO3) by mass?
2FeTiO3+4HCl+Cl2⟶2FeCl3+2TiO2+2H2O2 \text{FeTiO}_{3} + 4 \text{HCl} + \text{Cl}_{2} \rightarrow 2 \text{FeCl}_{3} + 2 \text{TiO}_{2} + 2 \text{H}_{2} \text{O}
