MCQ
In Brown ring $[Fe(H_2O)_5NO]SO_4$ primary valency of $Fe$ is
- ✓$+1$
- B$+2$
- C$+3$
- D$+6$
Let oxidation state of $Fe$ be $x$.
Since the overall charge on the coordination sphere, $\left[ Fe \left( H _2 O \right)_5 NO ^{+}\right]$is $+2$, the sum of oxidation states of all elements in it should be equal to $+2$.
Therefore, $x +1=+2$
or, $x =+1$
Hence, the oxidation state of iron in the brown ring complex is $+1$.
