What percentage of Fe+3 is present in Feo.0.93 |
|
Answer» In pure iron oxide (FeO), iron and oxygen are present in the ratio 1 : 1. However, here number of Fe2+present = 0.93 Or No. of Fe2+ions missing = 0.07 Since each Fe2+ion has 2 positive charge, the total number of charge due to missing (0.07) Fe2+ions = 0.07 * 2 = 0.14 To maintain electrical neutrality, 0.14 positive charge is compensated by the presence of Fe3+ions. Now since, replacement of one Fe2+ion by one Fe3+ion increases one positive charge, 0.14 positive charge must be compensated by the presence of 0.14 Fe3+ions. In short, 0.93 Fe2+ions have 0.14 Fe3+ions 100 Fe2+ions have = 0.14/0.93 * 100 =15.05% |
