Calculate the percent composition of the following: a. vo3 b. v2o5

A) Answer is: 51.48% V and 48.52% O.

Ar(V) = 50.94; atomic weight of vanadium.

Ar(O) = 16; atomic weight of oxygen.

Ar(VO₃) = 50.94 + 3 · 16.

Ar(VO₃) = 98.94; molecular weight of vanadium (VI) oxide.

ω(V) = Ar(V) ÷ Ar(VO₃) · 100%.

ω(V) = 51.48%; the percent composition of vanadium.

ω(O) = 100% - 51.48%.

ω(O) = 48.52%; the percent composition of oxygen.

B) Answer is: 67.80% V and 32.20% O.

Ar(V) = 50.94; atomic weight of vanadium.

Ar(O) = 16; atomic weight of oxygen.

Ar(V₂O₅) = 2 · 50.94 + 5 · 16.

Ar(V₂O₅) = 149.88; molecular weight of vanadium (V) oxide.

ω(V) = 2 · Ar(V) ÷ Ar(V₂O₅) · 100%.

ω(V) = 67.80%; the percent composition of vanadium.

ω(O) = 100% - 67.80%.

ω(O) = 32.20%; the percent composition of oxygen.

ill try to . no promises tho.

explanation:

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
