Redox Reactions And Electrochemistry Ques 360

Question: If 10 g of V2O5 , is dissolved in acid and is reduced to V2+ by zinc metal, how many mole of I, could be reduced by the resulting solution if it is further oxidised to VO2+ ions- [Assume no change in state of Zn2+ ions] (V=51,O=16, I=127):

Options:

A) 0.11 mole of I2

B) 0.22 mole of I2

C) 0.055 mole of I2

D) 0.44 mole of I2

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

[a] V2O5+5,+6e2V2++2, Molecular mass of V2O5=51×2+5×16=182 1 mol of V2O5 produces 2 moles of V2+

10182 moles of V2O5 produce 2×10182=0.11 moles of V2+ V2++2,VO0,2++2e (1)

I20,+2e2I1, (2)

On adding (1) and (2) V2++I22I+VO2+ 1 mole of V2+ reduces 1 mole of I2

0.11 moles of V2+ reduce 0.11 moles of I2
