The molar ratio of Fe^(2+) to Fe^(3+) in a mixture of FeSO_(4) and Fe_(2)(SO_(4))_(3) having equal number of sulphate ions in both ferrous and ferric sulphates is:

Answer»

`1:2`
`3:2`
`2:3`
NONE of these.

Solution :`FeSO_(4)rarrFe^(2+)+SO_(4)^(2-)`
`Fe_(2)(SO_(4))_(3)rarr2Fe^(3+)+3SO_(4)^(2-)`
Suppose X mole `SO_(4)^(2-)` ion are furnished by both `FeSO_(4)` and `Fe_(2)(SO_($))_(3)`.
Number of moles of `Fe^(3+)=x`
Number of moles of `Fe^(3+)=(2)/(3)x`
`Fe^(2+):Fe^(3+)::x:(2)/(3)x`
`=3:2`
