Question

Iron oxidation number in feso4

Answer 1

Answer:

+ 2

Explanation:

Given :

Compound FeSO₄ .

We have to find oxidation number of Fe in  FeSO₄ .

We have :

O.N. of S = + 6 and O = - 2 .

Let O.N. of Fe be .

x + 6 - 4 × 2 = 0

x + 6 - 8 = 0

x - 2 = 0

x = + 2 .

Hence the oxidation number of Fe [ Iron ] is + 2 in FeSO₄ .
