The composition of a sample of Wustite is `Fe_(0.93)O_(1.00)`. What percentage of the iron is present in the form of `Fe (III)`?A. `15.05`B. `84.95`C. `10.2`D. `89.8`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Oxidation number of `Fe` in `Fe_(0.93)O_(1.0)`
`=(200)/(93)=2.15`
Let `a%` be in form of `Fe(III)` and thus
`((+3xxa)+[+2(100-a)])/(100)=2.15`
`:. a=15.05`
