Metal deficiency defect is shown by Fe 0.93 O. In the crystal, some Fe 2+ cations are missing and loss of positive charge is compensated by the presence of Fe 3+ ions. The percentage of Fe 2+ ions in the Fe 0 . 93 O crystals is_________. (Nearest integer)
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
85
(85)
In Fe 0 . 93 O for every 93 Fe ions 14 are Fe +3 and (93 -14) = 79 are Fe +2 ions

nearest integer = 85%
