Iron oxide has formula `Fe_(0.94)O`. What fraction of Fe exists as `Fe^(+3)` ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the fraction of Fe that exists as Fe^(+3) in the iron oxide formula Fe_(0.94)O, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define Variables Let: - \( x \) = amount of Fe in the +3 oxidation state (Fe^(+3)) - \( 0.94 - x \) = amount of Fe in the +2 oxidation state (Fe^(+2)) ### Step 2: Determine the Charge Balance ...
