Analysis show that FeO has a non-stoichiometric composition with formula Fe_0.95 O.Give reason. |
| Answer» SOLUTION :In FEO crystal, some of the `FE^(2+)` ions are replaced by `Fe^(3+)` ions. Three `Fe^(2+)` ions are replaced by two `Fe^(3+)` ions to maintain electrical neutrality. As a result, there will less amount of Fe , i.e., Fe is less than O and has the COMPOSITION `Fe_0.95`O as compared to stoichiometric composition , FeO. | |
