The formula of a metal oxide is \(\mathrm{M}_{0.96} \mathrm{O}_1\). The fractions of metal that exists as \(\mathrm{M}^{3+}\) and \(\mathrm{M}^{2+}\) ions in that oxide are respectively

  1. A \(0.083,0.916\)
  2. B \(0.916,0.083\)
  3. C \(0.88,0.12\)
  4. D \(0.12,0.88\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(0.083,0.916\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(\mathrm{x}=\) number of \(\mathrm{M}^{3+}\) ions \(\mathrm{y}=\) number of \(\mathrm{M}^{2+}\) ions Impure sample has \(\mathrm{M}^{3+}\) ions. replacing \(\mathrm{M}^{2+}\) ions. \[ \Rightarrow \mathrm{y}=0.96-\mathrm{x} \] Total charge of metal atoms \(=\) total charge…
