Homework Statement


In my textbook it's written that turnbull's blue is:
## Fe_3^{II}[Fe^{III}(CN)_6]##

Homework Equations


none.

The Attempt at a Solution


But Shouldn't it be twice of the complex compound instead of one...to balance the charge.
I googled it but found the formula of the complex, not of the whole compound.
Thanks.
Any help appreciable.
