The non stoichiometric compound Fe _ 0.94 O is formed when x % of Fe ²⁺ ions are replaced by as many 2 3 Fe ³⁺ ions, x is
Options
- A18
- B12
- C15
- D6
Correct answer
A. 18
Step-by-step solution
The number of Fe ³⁺ ions replacing x Fe ²⁺ ions = 2 x 3 vacancies of cations array l =x- 2 x 3 =x / 3 But x / 3=1-0.94=0.06, x=0.06 3 =0.18=18 % array
