Question

A sample of fexo contains one fe3+ for every three fe2+ then value of x

Answer 1

A sample of wustite FexO contains one Fe(III) for every three Fe(II). The value ... Balancing the charge, (x/4)*3+(3x/4)*2=2*1We get x=8/9. ... Then ,total (+)charge = total ...

Answer 2

Hello Dear,

◆ Answer -

value of x in FexO is 1.125

◆ Explanation -

Given that, there is 1 Fe3+ for every 3 Fe2+.

So average charge is calculated as -

Charge on Fe = (1×3 + 3×2) / (1+3)

Charge on Fe = +2.25

Also, valency of O is -2. So value of x in FexO will be 2.25/2 = 1.125.

Therefore, value of x in FexO is 1.125 .

Hope this helps..
