Using Kröger-Vink notation, write the defect chemical equation for mixing FeO into Fe2O3
Dear friend your answer is by using the Kroger-Vink notation for FeO in Fe2O3 is
1. vacancy creation doesn’t change site balance
2. Keep in mind that we have strongly ionic species in this example; charges are involved
3. Placing a Fe2+ ion on a Fe3+ site gives a net -1 charge on the site
4. A vacancy must be created in order to preserve charge neutrality and maintain site relation. This is a “trick” that you will have to learn.
Thank you.
