Vanadium can be manufactured by heating vanadium(V) oxide, V2O5\text{V}_2\text{O}_5V2O5, with calcium at high temperatures:
V2O5+5Ca→2V+5CaO \text{V}_2\text{O}_5 + 5\text{Ca} \rightarrow 2\text{V} + 5\text{CaO} V2O5+5Ca→2V+5CaO22.5 g of V2O5\text{V}_2\text{O}_5V2O5 is reacted with an excess of calcium. The percentage yield of vanadium is 76.0%.
