Question 9 • Chemistry

What is the ratio of Fe raised to the 3 plus power ions to cap o raised to the 2 minus power ions in a neutral compound?

Answer
A
ratio of 1 to 2
B
ratio of 2 to 1
C
ratio of 2 to 3
D
ratio of 3 to 2

Explanation

Each Fe³⁺ ion has a charge of +3, and each O²⁻ ion has a charge of −2. Two Fe³⁺ ions give a total charge of +6, which balances the −6 charge from three O²⁻ ions. So the ratio of Fe³⁺ ions to O²⁻ ions is 2 to 3, choice C.
