Question

A sample of a metal oxide has formula M_0.83O_1.00. The metal M can exist in two oxidation states +2 and +3. In the sample of M_0.83O_1.00, the percentage of metal ions existing in +2 oxidation state is %. (nearest integer)

MARKS Content Team · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: 59. Let number of ions of M^(+2)=x Thus, as net charge has to be zero, M^(+3)=0.83-x ⇒2x+3(0.83-x)+1(-2)=0 ⇒2x+2.49-3x-2=0 ∴x=0.49 %M^(2+) ions =0.49/0.83×100=59.03

A sample of a metal oxide has formula $M_{0.83} O_{1.00}$ . The metal $M$ can exist in two oxidation states $+ 2$ and $+ 3$ . In the sample of $M_{0.83} O_{1.00}$ , the percentage of metal ions existing in $+ 2$ oxidation state is $%$ . (nearest integer)
