Solution

The correct option is D 50%
2FeO+12O2Fe2O3
volume of O2 at STP=56 ml
No. of mole of O2=56×103224
12mol O2 oxidise 2 mol FeO
2.5×103 mol O2 oxidise 212×25×103 mol FeO
man of FeO=1×102×(56+16)
=0.72 g
Mass of FeO3=2.320.72
=1.6 g
number of mole of FeO3=1.6(56×2+3×16)
=0.01
mole % of FeO3=0.010.01+0.01×100
=50%
