Using these data:

(a) Calculate the potential for the reduction of VO2+(aq) to V(s) and write a balanced chemical equation for this process.

(b) Construct a Frost diagram for vanadium at pH = 0.

(c) Calculate the equilibrium constant for the disproportionation of V3+(aq) to V2+(aq) and VO2+(aq) at pH = 0. Hence comment on the stability of V3+(aq) in acidic (pH = 0) solution.

(d) How might the potential for the reduction of VO2+(aq) to V3+(aq) be affected by increasing the pH of the solution ?
