To calculate the molar analytical concentration of Fe(NO3)3 in the solution, we first need to calculate the mass of Fe(NO3)3 present in 1 L of the solution.

Since the solution is 6.42% (w/w) Fe(NO3)3, we can assume there are 6.42g of Fe(NO3)3 in 100g of solution. Therefore, in 1 L of solution (which has a density of 1.059g/ml), there would be:

(6.42g Fe(NO3)3 / 100g solution) * 1.059g/ml * 1000ml/L = 67.99738g Fe(NO3)3/L solution

Now, we can calculate the molarity of Fe(NO3)3 in the solution:

Molarity = mass / (molar mass * volume)
Molarity = 67.99738g / (241.86g/mol * 1L) = 0.2807mol/L

Therefore, the molar analytical concentration of Fe(NO3)3 in the solution is 0.2807 mol/L.
