I think you have left out a few details in this question....

Explanation:

You gots a #70*g# mass of ferric oxide...this is normally digested and diluted, and then the concentration of the iron IN SOLUTION is measured by some means... Here the final iron concentration was #1700*"ppm"#....and this means that PER LITRE of solution there were #1700*mg-=1.700*g# iron..

Anyway, would you review this question....
