Question
What is the oxidation state of iron in K₄[Fe(CN)6] ?
Explanation
Given:
What is the oxidation state of iron in K₄[Fe(CN)6] ?
These values define the system as per NCERT data.
Formula:
Each CN^- is -1, 6 ligands = -6.
This is standard NCERT relation.
Substitution & Calculation:
The complex [Fe(CN)6]^{4- is balanced by 4 K⁺, so Fe’s oxidation state is x - 6 = -4, x = +2 .
Result:
The computed value matches expected outcome and confirms correct choice as per NCERT.
