The oxidation states of vanadium Objectives: access multiple oxidation states of V separate compounds via ion exchange chromatography
Vanadium Complexes in This Lab • [V(H2O)]62+ • [V(H2O)6]3+ • [V(H2O)5O]2+ • [V(OH)O3]2- • Draw 3D structure • Give oxidation number of V
Reduction of vanadium 5+ → 4+ HCl (done in hood!) 4+ → 3+ Hg/Zn amalgam 3+ → 2+ Hg/Zn amalgam • Reaction with amalgam may occur faster than • expected – do not overdo shaking!
Standard reduction potentials (half reactions, acid) Reaction E0 (V) 5+→4+ VO3- + 4H+ + e- VO2+ + 2H2O +1.00 4+→3+ VO2+ + 2H+ + e- V3+(aq) + H2O +0.34 3+→2+ V3+(aq) + e- V2+(aq) -0.26
Two couples are needed for determining potential Reaction E0 (V) 5+ → 4+ VO3ˉ + 4H+ + eˉ VO2+ + 2H2O +1.00 4+ → 3+ VO2+ + 2H+ + eˉ V3+(aq) + H2O +0.34 3+ → 2+ V3+(aq) + eˉ V2+(aq) -0.26 Cl2 + 2eˉ 2Clˉ +1.36 Zn2+ + 2eˉ Zn(Hg) -0.76
Redox chemistry of vanadium (Latimer) • Values for acidic solution (pH = 0) • DG0 = -nFE0 n = mol e- F = 96,500 C / mol e- E0 = standard reduction potential in V (1M conc, 1 atm pressure) 1 Joule = (1 Volt)(1 Coulomb)
Oxidation of vanadium • Oxidizing agent: KMnO4 MnO4- + 8H+ + 5e- ------> Mn2+ + 4 H2O 1.52 V Why is KMnO4a good oxidizing agent? --show oxidations with KMnO4 stepwise
Separation of ions • Ion exchange chromatography • SO32- ions attached to column • Positive ions travel more slowly through column • Can adjust rate via competitive binding resin • Resin must be kept wet to avoid cracking • Resin must have sufficient height to achieve separation • Unsettled height is ~3X greater than settled height
