The amphoteric oxide among \(\mathrm{V}_2 \mathrm{O}_3, \mathrm{~V}_2 \mathrm{O}_4\) and \(\mathrm{V}_2 \mathrm{O}_5\), upon reaction with alkali leads to formation of an oxide anion. The oxidation state of V in the oxide anion is _______.

  1. A \(+3\)
  2. B \(+4\)
  3. C \(+7\)
  4. D \(+5\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(+5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{V}_2 \mathrm{O}_5\) is amphoteric oxide. \(\mathrm{V}_2 \mathrm{O}_5\) gives \(\mathrm{VO}_4{ }^{3-}\) on reaction with alkali oxidation state of V in \(\mathrm{VO}_4{ }^{3-}=+5\)
