The quantity of antimony in a sample can be determined by an oxidation-reduction titration with an oxidizing agent. A
5.43 g sample of stibnite, an ore of antimony, is dissolved in hot, concentrated HCI(aq) and passed over a reducing agent so
that all the antimony is in the form Sb³*(aq). The Sb³+(aq) is completely oxidized by 28.0 mL of a 0.110 M aqueous
solution of KBrO, (aq). The unbalanced equation for the reaction is
Bro, (aq) + Sb³+(aq)
→ Br (aq) + Sb3+
*(aq) (unbalanced)
Calculate the amount of antimony in the sample and its percentage in the ore.
