Siderite is a mineral containing iron in the form of iron (II) carbonate, FeCO3_3.

A 15.00 gg sample of impure siderite was ground into a fine powder and dissolved in 250.0 cm3cm^3 of hot water, and then filtered to remove the insoluble components. After filtration, a 35.00 cm3cm^3 sample of the iron solution was analyzed via redox titration using a 0.120 mol dm3mol \ dm^{-3} solution of potassium dichromate. The balanced redox equation is given below:
