Answer Question

Danny by Danny Member since:November 16, 2009Total points:1,371 (Level 3)it depends on the Fe charge. Fe is one among many other metals that have multiple charges. so the problem or equation should probably states the charge of Fe, or simply say Fe(II), meaning iron with a +2 charge. so Fe + O2 makes FeO means Fe has a charge of +2, if Fe + O2 makes Fe2O3 means Fe has a charge of +3.
