Question 1
Magnetite (Fe3O4) is the mineral name of the iron oxide used for magnetic data storage in computer hard disks. It can be reduced to
iron (Fe) with the liberation of water (H2O) by high temperature treatment with hydrogen (H2) gas.
Which reaction correctly shows the stoichiometric reduction of magnetite to iron metal?
Fe3O4 + 2H2 → 3Fe + H2O
2Fe3O4 + H2 → 6Fe + H2O
Fe3O4 + 3H2 → 3Fe + 3H2O
Fe3O4 + 4H2 → 3Fe + 4H2O 1.00
2Fe3O4 + 4H2 → 6Fe + 4H2O

Metal phosphates of general formula M3+PO4 are used as anode materials in lithium ion batteries. These phases are orthorhombic
(Cmcm, No. 63) and constructed from M3+O6 octahedra and PO4 tetrahedra.
The graph shows the relationship between unit cell volume and M3+ ionic radius where the metals are aluminium, chromium, indium,
titanium, thallium and vanadium.
