<u>Answer:</u> The percent composition of 
in taconite is 37.6 %.
<u>Explanation:</u>
We are given:
Mass of taconite pellets = 1 ton = 907185 g (Conversion factor: 1 ton = 907185 g)
Mass of iron produced = 545 lb = 247212 g (Conversion factor: 1 lb = 453.6 g )
We know that:
Molar mass of iron = 55.85 g/mol
Molar mass of = 231.53 g/mol
1 mole of contains 3 moles of iron atom and 4 moles of oxygen atom
(3 × 55.85) = 167.55 g of iron is produced from 231.53 grams of
So, 247212 grams of iron will be produced from = 
of
To calculate the percentage of in taconite, we use the equation:
Mass of taconite = 907185 g
Mass of = 341611.43 g
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the percent composition of in taconite is 37.6 %.
Earth contains huge quantities of water in its oceans, lakes, rivers, the atmosphere, and believe it or not, in the rocks of the inner Earth. Over millions of years, much of this water is recycled between the inner Earth, the oceans and rivers, and the atmosphere. This cycling process means that freshwater is constantly made available to Earth's surface where we all live. Our planet is also very efficient at keeping this water. Water, as a vapor in our atmosphere, could potentially escape into space from Earth. But the water doesn't escape because certain regions of the atmosphere are extremely cold. (At an altitude of 15 kilometers, for example, the temperature of the atmosphere is as low as -60° Celsius!) At this frigid temperature, water forms solid crystals that fall back to Earth's surface.
Many people live faraway from freshwater sources. They need to carry their water home.
While our planet as a whole may never run out of water, it's important to remember that clean freshwater is not always available where and when humans need it. In fact, half of the world's freshwater can be found in only six countries. More than a billion people live without enough safe, clean water.
Also, every drop of water that we use continues through the water cycle. Stuff we put down the drain ends up in someone or something else's water. We can help protect the quality of our planet's freshwater by using it more wisely.
