1.0 mole of Fe reacts completely with 0.65 mole of `O_(2)` to give a mixture of only FeO and `Fe_(2)O_(3)` the mole ratio of ferrous oxide to ferric oxide isA. `2:2`B. `4:3`C. `1:2`D. `2:7`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`underset("a mole")(2Fe)+underset((a)/(2)"mole")(O_(2))tounderset(a)(2FeO)`
`underset(b)(4Fe)+underset((3b)/(4))(3O_(2))tounderset((b)/(2))(2Fe_(2)O_(3))`
`thereforea+b=1`
`(a)/(2)+(3b)/(4)=0.65`
`thereforea=0.4` mole
`b=0.6` mole
`therefore` moles of `FeO=0.4`
moles of `Fe_(2)O_(3)=0.3`
`therefore` ratio `=4:3`
