Question

Ammonium metavandate reacts with sulfur dioxide in acidic solution as follows (hydrogen ions and H₂O omitted): xVO₃^- + ySO₂ $\to$ xVO²⁺ + ySO₄²^- The ratio x : y is

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Looking at the balanced chemical equation, we can see that the coefficients of VOS and SO2 are the same (x), while the coefficient of SO3 is 2y. This means that the ratio of x:y is 1:2, which corresponds to answer choice C.
