Problem- The quantity of antimony in a sample can be determined by an oxidation-reduction titration with an oxidizing agent. A 9.79-g sample of stibnite, an ore of antimony, is dissolved in hot, concentrated HCl(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 38.3 mL of a 0.145 M aqueous solution of KBrO3(aq). The unbalanced equation for the reaction is
BrO3- + Sb3+ ----> Br- +Sb5+
Calculate the amount of antimony in the sample and its percentage in the ore.
