Answer : 0.0392 grams of Zn metal would be required to completely reduced the vanadium.

Explanation :

Let us rewrite the given equations again.

2VO_{2}^{+} (aq)+ 4H^{+}(aq) + Zn (s)\rightarrow 2VO^{2+}(aq)+Zn^{2+}+2H2O(l)2VO^{2+}(aq)+ 4H^{+}(aq) + Zn (s)\rightarrow 2V^{3+} (aq)+Zn^{2+}+2H2O(l)

2V^{3+} (aq)+ Zn (s)\rightarrow 2V^{2+}(aq)+Zn^{2+}(aq)

On adding above equations, we get the following combined equation.

2VO_{2}^{+} (aq)+ 8H^{+} (aq) + 3Zn (s)\rightarrow 2V^{2+}(aq)+3Zn^{2+}(aq)+4H_{2}O(l)

We have 12.1 mL of 0.033 M solution of VO₂⁺.

Let us find the moles of VO₂⁺ from this information.

12.1 mL \times \frac{1L}{1000mL}\times \frac{0.033mol}{L}=0.0003993mol NO_{2}^{+}

From the combined equation, we can see that the mole ratio of VO₂⁺ to Zn is 2:3.

Let us use this as a conversion factor to find the moles of Zn.

0.0003993mol NO_{2}^{+}\times \frac{3mol Zn}{2molNO_{2}^{+}}=0.00059895mol Zn

Let us convert the moles of Zn to grams of Zn using molar mass of Zn.

Molar mass of Zn is 65.38 g/mol.

0.00059895mol Zn\times \frac{65.38gZn}{1molZn}=0.0392gZn

We need 0.0392 grams of Zn metal to completely reduce vanadium.

A scientist finds one carbon atom for every two oxygen atoms in a sample of compound x. for which other samples of compound x sh
Doss [256]

The formula or chemical formula of a compound is same irrespective of source / mode of synthesis . Thus if a sample of compound has one carbon atom for every two atoms of oxygen (CO2), the formula will remains the same

So the answer is that for all other samples the compound X should hold this ration true.
