    Iron has an oxidation number of +3, in which of the following compounds?

    A)  \[Fe{{(N{{O}_{3}})}_{2}}\]

    B)  \[Fe{{C}_{2}}{{O}_{4}}\]

    C)  \[[Fe{{({{H}_{2}}O)}_{6}}]\,C{{l}_{3}}\]

    D)  \[{{(N{{H}_{4}})}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\,\,FeS{{O}_{4}}\,\,6{{H}_{2}}O\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Let the oxidation number of iron is x. [a] \[Fe{{(N{{O}_{3}})}_{2}}\Rightarrow x+2(-1)=0\Rightarrow x=+2\] [b] \[Fe{{C}_{2}}{{O}_{4}}\Rightarrow Fe{{(COO)}_{2}}\Rightarrow x+2(-2)=0\]\[\Rightarrow x=+4\] [c] \[[Fe{{({{H}_{2}}O)}_{6}}]C{{l}_{3}}\Rightarrow x+6\times 0+3(-1)=0\]\[\Rightarrow x=+3\] [d] \[{{(N{{H}_{4}})}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}.FeS{{O}_{4}}6{{H}_{2}}O\Rightarrow FeS{{O}_{4}}\]\[\Rightarrow x+1(-2)=0\Rightarrow x=+2\]
