Experimentally it was found that a metal oxide has formula M 0.98 O . Metal M, present as M 2 + and M 3 + in its oxide. Fraction of the metal which exists as M 3 + would be nearly [Report your answer by rounding it upto nearset whole number]
Correct answer
4
Step-by-step solution
For a one mole of the oxide Moles of M = 0.98 , Moles of O 2 - = 1 Let moles of M 3 + = x Moles of M 2 + = 0.98 - x on balancing charge 0.98 - x × 2 + 3 x - 2 = 0 x = 0.04 % of M 3 + = 0.04 0.98 × 100 = 4.08 % ≈ 4 %
