iron is in the III oxidation state
8-8=0
The charge of iron in FeO is 2+.Iron has also the charge 3+ in other compounds.
14.2g Fe2O3 (1mol Fe2O3/159.7g(2mol Fe/1mol Fe2O3) = 0.178 moles Fe
Fe2O3 + 2Al --> Al2O3 + 2Fe
X moles Fe2O3 (2 moles Fe/1 mole Fe2O3) 2 : 1
Iron + Oxygen= Iron oxideChemical Equation4Fe + 3O2 --> 2Fe2O3No Problem! :)
Mass of Fe=(Mass of Fe2O3)(Mr Fe/ Mr Fe2O3)

Variable valencies are the valencies which can change e.g. Fe (iron) can either have the valency of 2 (Fe II) or 3 (Fe III)
2 Al + Fe2O3 ----> Al2O3 + 2 Fe
X moles Fe2O3 (2 moles Fe/1 mole Fe2O3) 2 : 1
Variable valencies are the valencies which can change e.g. Fe (iron) can either have the valency of 2 (Fe II) or 3 (Fe III)
The first Fe represents an iron atom in the 0 oxidation state while the Fe in Fe2O3 represents iron ion in the +2 oxidation state
Fe2O3
The reaction is:4 Fe + 3 O2= 2 Fe2O3
the mineral element found in haemoglobin is iron
