Question 19

Vanadium(V) oxide, V2O5\text{V}_2\text{O}_5V2​O5​, acts as a catalyst in the Contact Process. Which of the following equations represents the step in the Contact Process in which vanadium is reduced?

SO2+V2O5→SO3+2VO2\text{SO}_2 + \text{V}_2\text{O}_5 \rightarrow \text{SO}_3 + 2\text{VO}_2SO2​+V2​O5​→SO3​+2VO2​

SO3+2VO2→SO2+V2O5\text{SO}_3 + 2\text{VO}_2 \rightarrow \text{SO}_2 + \text{V}_2\text{O}_5SO3​+2VO2​→SO2​+V2​O5​

2VO2+12O2→V2O52\text{VO}_2 + \frac{1}{2}\text{O}_2 \rightarrow \text{V}_2\text{O}_52VO2​+21​O2​→V2​O5​

V2O5→2VO2+12O2\text{V}_2\text{O}_5 \rightarrow 2\text{VO}_2 + \frac{1}{2}\text{O}_2V2​O5​→2VO2​+21​O2​
