Chemistry
1 answer:
Inessa05 [86]3 years ago
4 0

Answer/ explanation :

The oxidation number of Fe

In Fe2O3

To solve this problem,

The oxidation number of O is -2

Oxidation number of Fe is x

Note that there are 2moles of Fe and 3moles of O

2 Fe + (-2 * 3) = 0

2 Fe + (-6) = 0

2 Fe - 6 = 0

2 Fe = 6

Fe = 6/2

Fe = +3

Therefore, the oxidation number of Fe is +3

The sign is very important, either - or +
