The equivalent weight of \(\mathrm{Fe}\) in \(\mathrm{Fe}_2 \mathrm{O}_3\) is
\(\left(\right.\) Atomic mass of \(\mathrm{Fe}=56 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\) )

  1. A \(56.0\)
  2. B \(18.6\)
  3. C \(28.0\)
  4. D \(14.0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(18.6\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In \(\mathrm{Fe}_2 \mathrm{O}_3\), the oxidation state of \(\mathrm{Fe}\) is +3 . It means one-third of \(\mathrm{Fe}\) mole is enough to combine with \(8 \mathrm{~g}\) of \(\mathrm{O}_2\). Therefore, the equivalent weight of iron in…
