A non-stoichiometric compound is a compound that cannot be represented by a small whole-number ratio of atoms, usually because o
f point defects in the crystal lattice. What is the average oxidation state of vanadium in ? What is the average state of vanadium in VO 1.19? If each vanadium atom has either a 2 or 3 oxidation state in this compound, what percentage of the vanadium atoms are in the lower oxidation state? ...?
<span>Average oxidation state = VO1.19 Oxygen is-2. Then 1.19 (-2) = -2.38 Average oxidation state of V is +2.38
Consider 100 formula units of VO1.19 There would be 119 Oxide ions = Each oxide is -2. Total charge = -2(119) = -238 The total charge of all the vanadium ions would be +238. Let x = number of of V+2 Then 100 – x = number of V+3 X(+2) + 100-x(+3) = +238 2x + 300 – 3x = 238 -x = 238-300 = -62 x = 62
Thus 62/100 are V+2 62/100 * 100 = 62%
</span>62 % is the percentage of the vanadium atoms are in the lower oxidation state. Thank you for posting your question. I hope that this answer helped you. Let me know if you need more help.
To convert Celsius to kelvin, we need to know the formula. Kelvin = Celsius + 273.15. Now, we can figure out how many degrees kelvin -12 degrees Celsius is.
