Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the elements

The chemical formula \(\mathrm{Fe}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}\) consists of iron (Fe) and oxygen (O).

Step 2: Determine the oxidation states

Iron (Fe) can have multiple oxidation states. In \(\mathrm{Fe}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}\), each oxygen (O) has an oxidation state of -2.

Step 3: Calculate the total oxidation state for oxygen

Since there are three oxygen atoms, the total oxidation state for oxygen is \(3 \times -2 = -6\).

Step 4: Balance the oxidation states

To balance the -6 from oxygen, the total oxidation state for iron must be +6. Since there are two iron atoms, each iron atom must have an oxidation state of \(+3\).

Step 5: Write the chemical name

The chemical name for \(\mathrm{Fe}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}\) is iron (III) oxide, indicating that iron is in the +3 oxidation state.

Final Answer

The chemical name for \(\mathrm{Fe}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}\) is iron (III) oxide.
