The quantity of antimony in a sample can be determined by an oxidation-reduction titration with an oxidizing agent. A 6.33-g sam

ple 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 29.9 mL of a 0.120 M aqueous solution of KBrO3(aq).
The unbalanced equation for the reaction is BrO3- (aq) + Sb^3+ (aq) --------> Br^3- (aq) + Sb^5+ (aq)

A) Calculate the amount of antimony in the sample (grams)

B) Calculate the percentage in the ore (%)

Answer:

Explanation:

BrO3- (aq) + Sb^3+ (aq) --------> Br^3- (aq) + Sb^5+ (aq) is an unbalanced equation and needs to be balanced

BrO3- (aq) → Br^3- (aq

to balance it water must be added to the right side and H⁺ be added to the left side

BrO₃⁻ + 6 H⁺ + 8e⁻ → Br³⁻ + 3 H₂ O

Sb³⁺ (aq) → Sb⁵⁺ + 2e⁻

multiply the second equation by 4

BrO₃⁻ + 6 H⁺  + 8e⁻ → Br³⁻ + 3 H₂ O

4Sb³⁺ → 4Sb⁵⁺ + 8 e⁻

add the two equation together and cancel the 8 e electrons on both side

BrO₃⁻ + 4Sb³⁺ + 6 H⁺  → Br³⁻ +  4Sb⁵⁺ + 3 H₂ O

number of mole of BrO₃⁻  = volume in liters × molarity  = (29.9 / 1000) L × 0.120 M = 0.003588 moles

from the balanced equation of reaction;

one mole of BrO₃⁻  requires 4 moles of Sb³⁺

0.003588 moles of BrO₃⁻  will require = 0.003588 × 4 = 0.0144 moles of Sb³⁺

a) amount of antimony in grams in the sample =  0.0144 moles × 121.8 g ( molar mass of antimony) = 1.748 g

b ) percentage of antimony in the ore = 1.748 g / 6.33 g = 27.62 %

Answer:

P2 = P1*n2 / n1

       =1.02 atm *0.008 moles / 0.00113 moles

      = 7.22 atm

∴the new pressure will be 7.22 atm

4. describe three ways carbon dioxide was removed from the Earth's atmosphere.

Answer: Forests: Photosynthisis helps clear carbon dioxide naturally, Soils naturally store carbon, but agricultural soils are running a big deficit due to intensive use. Because agricultural land is so expansive, Bio-energy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) is another way to use photosynthesis to combat climate change. However, it is far more complicated than planting trees or managing soils — and it doesn’t always work for the climate.

5. Explain why there is now 21% Oxygen in the Earth's atomosphere compaired to little or no Oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere 4.5 billion years ago.

Answer: cientists believe that the Earth was formed about 4.5 billion years ago. Its early atmosphere was probably formed from the gases given out by volcanoes. It is believed that there was intense volcanic activity for the first billion years of the Earth's existence.The early atmosphere was probably mostly carbon dioxide, with little or no oxygen. There were smaller proportions of water vapour, ammonia and methane. As the Earth cooled down, most of the water vapour condensed and formed the oceans.
