Vanadium (V) and oxygen (O) form a series of compounds with the following compositions: Mass % V 76.10 67.98 61.42 56.02 Mass % O 23.90 32.02 38.58 43.98 Compound Mass % N 1 33.28 2 39.94.

What are the relative numbers of atoms of oxygen in the compounds for a given mass of vanadium?

Explanation:

Number of moles in 100 g mass = % mass / molar mass

Molar mass of Vanadium, V = 51 g/mol

Molar mass of oxygen atom, O = 16 g/mol

1. Percentage mass of V and O is 76.10% and 23.90% respectively.

Number of moles of each atom;

V = 76.10/51.0 = 1.5 moles

O = 23.9/16 = 1.5 moles

Mole ratio of oxygen to vanadium = 1.5/1.5 = 1 : 1

2. Percentage mass of V and O is 67.98% and 32.02% respectively

Number of moles of each atom:

V = 67.98/51 = 1.33

O = 32.02/16 = 2

Mole ratio of oxygen to vanadium = 2/1.33 = 1.5 : 1 = 3 : 2

3. Percentage mass of V and O is 61.42% and 38.58% respectively

Number of moles of each atom:

V = 61.42/51 = 1.2

O = 38.58/16 = 2.4

Mole ratio of oxygen to vanadium = 2.4/1.2 = 2 : 1

4. Percentage mass of V and O is 56.02% and 43.98% respectively

Number of moles of each atom:

V = 56.02/51 = 1.10

O = 43.98/16 = 2.75

Mole ratio of oxygen to vanadium = 2.75/1.10 = 2.5 : 1 = 5 : 2

you need to take a look at the periodic system in order to sort these elements into pairs that would most likely exhibit similar chemical properties. first, you need to find elements that are found in the same group (groups are vertical in the periodic system), and then to see whether they have the same valence number. if they meet these criteria, they will have similar properties.

the first pair: ne (neon) and kr (krypton), are noble gases found in group 8

the second pair: li (lithium) and k (potassium), found in group 1

the third pair: s (sulfur) and te (tellurium), found in group 6
