Answer: Cations are positively charged ions.

Explanation: In cations the number of electrons is not equal to the number of positively charged protons. This is due to reason that cations donates their outer valence electrons making the atom less electronegative. The amount of electrons donated indicates the charge of the cation.

When this reaction in equilibrium is heated, a red/brown color persists. what is true about this reaction? 2no2(

dimulka [17.4K]

NO₂ is a brown gas while N₂O₄ is colorless. If heating causes a brown color to persist, then this means that heating causes the reaction to shift backwards and produce NO₂. Therefore, the reaction must be exothermic.

The balanced redox reactions for the sequential reduction of vanadium are given below.

Minchanka [31]

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

Explanation :

Let us rewrite the given equations again.

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