25.0\,\text{cm}^3

aliquot of a solution containing

\text{Fe}^{2+}

and

\text{Fe}^{3+}

ions was acidified and titrated against

0.0200\,\text{mol dm}^{-3}

potassium manganate(VII) solution, requiring

15.0\,\text{cm}^3

. The solution was then reduced by zinc and, after filtering off the excess zinc, was titrated with the same potassium manganate(VII) solution, requiring

19.0\,\text{cm}^3

. Calculate the concentrations of

\text{Fe}^{2+}

and

\text{Fe}^{3+}

in the solution.
