Chapter 9, Problem 139CP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

• The formula of a compound containing ${\text{Ti}}^{\text{2+}}\text{and}{\text{Ti}}^{\text{3+}}$ ions has to be determined.

• The relative quantity of ${\text{Ti}}^{\text{2+}}\text{and}{\text{Ti}}^{\text{3+}}$ ions has to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

A compound containing mixture of ions of same element having different charges in an uneven ratio is called non-stoichiometric compound. Most of such compounds are Inorganic compounds. Transition metal elements form wide range of non-stoichiometric compounds. The variable oxidation states of the metal ions are responsible for the formation of such compounds.
