For every 1 mol of oxygen atom, 0.85 mol of iron atoms is present. If r is the amount of Fe(III) present, them the electrical neutrality requires that

x\times 3+\left ( 0.85-x \right )\times 2=1\times 2

This gives x=0.3mol

Ppercent of Fe(III)= \frac{0.3}{0.85}\times 100=35.3%

 

Metal deficiency defect -

This defect is arise when cation with lower oxidation state are replaced by cation with higher oxidation state, but crystal is electrically neutral.

- wherein

Ex : Fe_{0.93}O , Ni_{0.98}O , Cu_{1.8}O , Fe_{0.95}O
