Question

The oxidation state of Fe in Fe3O8 is Fe3O8

Answer 1

Answer:

the oxidation no. Of Fe is 16/3 .

Explanation:

In Fe308 compound the oxidation no.

of Oxygen molecules is -2.

And the compound is neutral therefore the overall oxidation no. of compound is 0.

x ( 3 ) + ( -2 )8 = 0

x ( 3 ) - 16 = 0

x ( 3 ) = +16

x = 16 / 3

Hence the oxidation no. Fe in this compound is 16 / 3 .

Answer 2

Answer:

16/3

Explanation:

3x+8(-2)=0

3x-16=0

3x=16

x=16/3
