the quantity of antimony in an ore can be determined by an oxidation-reduction titration with an oxidizing agent. The ore is dis

solved in hot, concentrated acid and passed over a reducing agent so that all the antimony is in the form Sb^3+(aq). The Sb^3+ (aq) is completely oxidized by an aqueous solution BrO(3)^- + Sb^3+ ---> Br^- + Sb^5+. Complete and balance the equation for this reaction in acidic solution.

Answer:

BrO₃⁻(aq) + 3Sb³⁺(aq) + 6H⁺(aq) → Br⁻(aq) + 3Sb⁵⁺(aq) + 3H₂O(l)

Explanation:

At a redox equation, one substance is being oxidized (losing electrons), and the other is being reduced (gaining electrons). In the given reaction:

BrO₃⁻(aq) + Sb³⁺(aq) → Br⁻(aq) + Sb⁵⁺(aq)

When it's at an acidic solution, it must be ions H⁺ on the reactant, which will form water with the oxygen, so the complete reaction is:

BrO₃⁻(aq) + Sb³⁺(aq) + H⁺(aq) → Br⁻(aq) + Sb⁵⁺(aq) + H₂O(l)

As we can see, the antimony is being oxidized (go from +3 to +5), and the Bromo is being reduced. The oxidation number of brome in the reactant, knowing that the oxidation number of O is -2, is:

x + 3*(-2) = -1

x = +5

So, it's going from +5 to -1, and the half-reactions are:

BrO₃⁻(aq) + 6e⁻ → Br⁻(aq)

Sb³⁺(aq) → Sb⁵⁺(aq) + 2e⁻

The number of electrons must be the same, so the second equation must be multiplied by 3:

3Sb³⁺(aq) → 3Sb⁵⁺(aq) + 6e⁻

Thus, the equation will be:

BrO₃⁻(aq) + 3Sb³⁺(aq) + H⁺(aq) → Br⁻(aq) + 3Sb⁵⁺(aq) + H₂O(l)

Now, we verify the amount of the elements, which must be equal on both sides. So, we multiply H₂O by 3, and H⁺ by 6, and the balanced reaction will be:

BrO₃⁻(aq) + 3Sb³⁺(aq) + 6H⁺(aq) → Br⁻(aq) + 3Sb⁵⁺(aq) + 3H₂O(l)

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer

No you did not lose weight.

Explanation:

Weight is the force acting on an object, Gravity is a force on earth which does not apply to the moon so your weight may change depending in where you are but your mass will stay the same because mass measures the matter of an object ITSELF! Have a nice day....

Is it true that the formula for magnesium sulfate shows that there are four atoms of sulfur
Ulleksa [173]
The chemical formula for magnesium sulfate is MgSO4, so it shows that there are four atoms of oxygen but not sulfur. There is only one atom of sulfur in the formula

What is the maximum number of moles of N-acetyl-p-toluidine can be prepared from 70. milliliters of 0.167 M p-toluidine hydrochl
Kitty [74]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{0.012 mol}}  

Explanation:

We will need a balanced equation with moles, so let's gather all the information in one place.

               CH₃C₆H₄NH₂·HCl + (CH₃CO)₂O ⟶ CH₃C₆H₄NHCOCH₃ + junk

V/mL:                    70.

c/mol·L⁻¹:             0.167

For simplicity in writing , let's call p-toluidine hydrochloride A and N-acetyl-<em>p</em>-toluidine B.

The equation is then

A + Ac₂O ⟶ B + junk

1. Moles of A

\text{Moles of A} = \text{70. mL A}\times \dfrac{\text{0.167 mmol A}}{\text{1 mL A}}= \text{12 mmol A}

2. Moles of B

The molar ratio is 1 mol B:1 mol A

Moles of B = moles of A = 12 mmol = 0.012 mol

\text{You can prepare $\large \boxed{\textbf{0.012 mol}}$ of N-acetyl-p-toluidine. }

What is the oxidation number of chlorine in HClO4?
Elza [17]

CIO4-=-1

CI=4O=-1

O has a 2- oxidation change so

CI+4(-2)=-1

CI+(-8)=-1

CI=-1+8=7

So the oxidation number of chlorine is 7 in this case
