The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the thermal decomposition of iron(II) oxalate, FeC₂O₄, and identify the products formed, as well as their magnetic properties. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reaction**: When FeC₂O₄ is heated, it decomposes into: \[ \text{FeC}_2\text{O}_4 \xrightarrow{\Delta} \text{FeO} + \text{CO} + \text{CO}_2 \] The products are iron(II) oxide (FeO), carbon monoxide (CO), and carbon dioxide (CO₂). 2. **Determine Diamagnetic Products**: - **CO (Carbon Monoxide)**: CO is a stable molecule with no unpaired electrons, making it diamagnetic. - **CO₂ (Carbon Dioxide)**: CO₂ is also a stable molecule with no unpaired electrons, hence it is diamagnetic. - **FeO (Iron(II) Oxide)**: We need to check if FeO is diamagnetic or paramagnetic. Since CO and CO₂ are diamagnetic, we have: \[ x = 2 \quad (\text{number of diamagnetic products}) \] 3. **Determine the Magnetic Properties of FeO**: - The oxidation state of Fe in FeO is +2. The electronic configuration of Fe²⁺ is: \[ \text{Fe}^{2+}: [\text{Ar}] 3d^6 \] - In the 3d subshell, the distribution of electrons is as follows: - 5 electrons will fill the first five orbitals (3d), and the sixth electron will occupy one of the orbitals, resulting in: \[ \uparrow \downarrow \quad \uparrow \quad \uparrow \quad \uparrow \quad \uparrow \] - This means there are 4 unpaired electrons in FeO. Therefore, FeO is paramagnetic, and we have: \[ y = 4 \quad (\text{number of unpaired electrons in paramagnetic product}) \] 4. **Final Calculation**: Now, we need to report the final answer as \( x + y \): \[ x + y = 2 + 4 = 6 \] ### Final Answer: The answer is \( 6 \).
