with regards
sir i want to prepare Ni x Fe 3-x O 4 with x= 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 and 1. i.e Nickel doped magnetite where x shows doping percentage of Nickel in magnetite. And i am taking two salts i.e Iron(iii) nitrate and Nickel (ii) nitrate as precursors ( and a capping agent).Sir please give me information , how i take the concentration or weight of salts in order to get same doping level of nickel in magnetite.
What is the formula for taking desired weight of salts for this doping percentage.
Also if i am wrong in taking the salts please comment on this as i want to prepare in situ nickel doped magnetite.
Your initial questions are answered using methods that are taught in a first year college chemistry class. The topic is called stoichiometry. Write a balanced chemical reaction, for example ...
3x Fe(III)-nitrate + x Ni(II)-nitrate -> NixFe3xO4 + ...
For each case of x, determine the moles and therefore the masses of the reactants that are needed. A faculty member in the chemistry department at your university may be interested to help you further with this approach.
I cannot comment on your choice of salts or the reaction mechanisms. This should be found in a formal literature search.
