The equivalent weight of Fe in Fe ₂ O ₃ is ( . Atomic mass of Fe =56 ~g ~mol ⁻¹ )
Options
- A56.0
- B18.6
- C28.0
- D14.0
Correct answer
B. 18.6
Step-by-step solution
In Fe ₂ O ₃ , the oxidation state of Fe is +3 . It means one-third of Fe mole is enough to combine with 8 ~g of O ₂ . Therefore, the equivalent weight of iron in Fe ₂ O ₃= 55.8 3 =18.6 ~g
