What is the oxidation number of metals [Fe(CN)6]4-?

Answer»

Fe in [Fe(CN)6]4-

Let the oxidation number of Fe in [Fe(CN)6]4- bexand CN be -1 i.e..,

\(\overset{x}{Fe}\,\,\overset{-1}{(CN)_6}\)

∴ Sum of oxidation numbers of all the atoms in

[Fe(CN)6]4- 

⇒ x + 6(-1) = -4 

⇒ x - 6 = -4

x = +2

Thus, the oxidation number of Fe in [Fe(CN)6]4- 

Fe is +2.
