JEE Main 2022 · 27 Jun · Shift 1, Chemistry question 81

Metal deficiency defect is shown by Fe0.93O\mathrm{Fe_{0.93}O}. In the crystal, some Fe2+\mathrm{Fe^{2+}} cations are missing and loss of positive charge is compensated by the presence of Fe3+\mathrm{Fe^{3+}} ions. The percentage of Fe2+\mathrm{Fe^{2+}} ions in the Fe0.93O\mathrm{Fe_{0.93}O} crystals is ______. (Nearest integer)

Answer and worked solution

Official answer: 85

Charge balance. x+y=0.93x+y=0.93 and 2x+3y=22x+3y=2 give y=0.14y=0.14, x=0.79x=0.79.

Percentage. 0.790.93×100≈85\dfrac{0.79}{0.93}\times100\approx85.

Answer: 85
