Answer:
So one mole of Fe2O3 contains two moles of Fe3+ ions.
Explanation:
As there is an internal mole ratio of 2:3
It means that there are 2moles of iron within every mole of iron(III) oxide.
Iron III oxide is an ionic compound composed of Fe3+ ions and O2- ions. According to the formula, there are three O2- ions for every two Fe3+ ions.
Extra:
One 'unit' of Fe2O3 has two Fe3+ ions and three O2- ions, hence a dozen Fe2O3 contains two dozen Fe3+ ions and three dozen O2- ions, and a mole Fe2O3 contains two moles Fe3+ ions and three moles O2- ions.
