Correct answer
0.79

Step-by-step explanation

Let the number of ions be and number of ions be .

According to the charge neutrality,



As it is a metal deficiency defect,

so, 1 mol of contains of oxide ions and of iron ions as and .

So, moles of

and moles of





For one -factor

For -factor

Out of , there are ions are present.
