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. |
