Answer: There are 7 alpha-particle emissions and 4 beta-particle emissions involved in this series
Explanation:
Alpha Decay: In this process, a heavier nuclei decays into lighter nuclei by releasing alpha particle. The mass number is reduced by 4 units and atomic number is reduced by 2 units.
Beta Decay : It is a type of decay process, in which a proton gets converted to neutron and an electron. This is also known as -decay. In this the mass number remains same but the atomic number is increased by 1.
In radioactive decay the sum of atomic number or mass number of reactants must be equal to the sum of atomic number or mass number of products .

Thus for mass number : 235 = 207+4X
4X= 28
X = 7
Thus for atomic number : 92 = 82+2X-Y
2X- Y = 10
2(7) - Y= 10
14-10 = Y
Y= 4

Thus there are 7 alpha-particle emissions and 4 beta-particle emissions involved in this series
Volume= mass divided by density
V= m/d

Answer : 0.0392 grams of Zn metal would be required to completely reduced the vanadium.
Explanation :
Let us rewrite the given equations again.



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

We have 12.1 mL of 0.033 M solution of VO₂⁺.
Let us find the moles of VO₂⁺ from this information.

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.

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.

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