A 0.2 g sample of pyrolusite is analyzed for manganese content as follows. Add 50.0 mL of 0.1 M solution of ferrous ammonium sulfate to reduce the MnO2 to Mn2+. After reduction is complete, the excess ferrous ion is titrated in acid solution with 0.02 M KMnO4, requiring 15.0 mL. Calculate the percent manganese in the sample as Mn3O4.
