    The percentage of iron present as Fe(III) in \[F{{e}_{0.93}}{{O}_{1.0}}\] is

    A)  8.3%                    

    B)  9.6%

    C)  11.5%                  

    D)  17.7%

    E)                 (e) None of these above

    Correct Answer: E

    Solution :

                    (e)Percentage of Fe (lll) in \[F{{e}_{0.93}}{{O}_{1.0}}\] Formula \[F{{e}_{0.93}}{{O}_{1.00}}\] shows that Fe : 0                 = 0.93 : 1.00 or 93 : 100 If there are 100 oxygen atoms then Fe atoms = 93 Charge on oxide ion \[=100\times (-2)=-200\] Suppose \[F{{e}^{2+}}=x\], then \[F{{e}^{3+}}=93-x\] Total positive charge \[=(2\times x)+3(93-x)\]                 \[2x+279-3x=279-x\] Positive charge = negative charge                                 \[279-x=200\]                                                 \[x=79=F{{e}^{2+}}\]                                 \[F{{e}^{3+}}=93-79=14\]                 % of \[F{{e}^{3+}}=\frac{14\times 100}{93}=15.05%\] Hence, None of these options is correct.
