An oxide of iron contains 69.9% iron, its empirical formula, is: (Given : Molar mass of Fe and O are 56 and 16 g mol-1 respectively.)

  1. FeO
  2. Fe2O3
  3. Fe3O4
  4. FeO3

Answer

(2) Fe2O3

Solution

Mass % of O = 100 − 69.9 = 30.1%

Taking 100 g of the oxide:

Moles of Fe = 69.956 = 1.248

Moles of O = 30.116 = 1.881

Simplest ratio: Fe : O = 1.2481.248 : 1.8811.248 = 1 : 1.507 ≈ 1 : 1.5

⇒ Fe : O = 2 : 3

∴ Empirical formula = Fe2O3

Answer: (2)
