Redox reactions of vanadium
This experiment addresses two different areas of the Additional Higher Level (AHL) material. Topic 13.1 First-row d-block elements is concerned with the chemistry of the first-row transition elements and topic 19.1 Electrochemical cells (AHL) covers standard electrode potentials. The electronic configuration of vanadium is clearly on the syllabus but although students are expected to be able to work out the oxidation...
