Show Hint
Correct Answer: 59
Approach Solution - 1
Let the amount of metal in the \( +2 \) oxidation state be \( x \), and the amount in the \( +3 \) oxidation state be \( 0.83 - x \).
From the charge balance equation:
\[ 2x + 3(0.83 - x) = 0.83 \]
Simplifying the equation:
\[ 2x + 2.49 - 3x = 0.83 \quad \Rightarrow \quad -x + 2.49 = 0.83 \quad \Rightarrow \quad -x = 0.83 - 2.49 = -1.66 \]
\[ x = 0.49 \]
Thus, the percentage of metal ions in the \( +2 \) oxidation state is:
\[ \frac{0.49}{0.83} \times 100 = 59\% \]
Approach Solution -2
The accurate response is 59%.
By solving the equation \(2x+3(0.83−x)=2\),
we obtain the value of x as 0.49.
Therefore, the percentage of metal ions present in the +2 oxidation state
\((\% M^{2+})\) can be calculated as \(\frac{(0.83-0.49)}{0.83} \times 100\),
which simplifies to \(59\%\).
So, the correct answer is 59.

Classification of Matter
There are two ways of classifying the matter:
(A) Physical Classification:
Matter can exist in three physical states:
- Solids - have definite volume and definite shape
- Liquids - have definite volume but not definite shape.
- Gases - have neither definite volume nor definite shape.
(B) Chemical Classification:
Based upon the composition, matter can be divided into two main types:
- Pure Substances are defined as a single substance (or matter) which cannot be separated by simple physical methods. Pure substances can be further classified as (i) Elements (ii) Compounds
- Mixtures are the combination of two or more elements or compounds which are not chemically combined together and may also be present in any proportion.
