The valence electron configuration for antimony (Sb) is:
Sb = 5s²5p³5d⁰
In SbCl₅²⁻, antimony has a -2 charge i.e. it has 2 additional electrons
Sb²⁻ = 5s²5p⁵5d⁰
Following a two electron transition from p→d orbital we have:
Sb²⁻ = 5s²5p³5d²
There is a total of 5 unpaired electrons (3 in the p and 2 in the d) which can form five bonds with the 5 Cl atoms.
Thus the hybridisation of Sb in SbCl₅²⁻ is sp³d²

Answer:
A. percentage mass of iron = 5.17%
percentage mass of sand = 8.62%
percentage mass of water = 86.205%
B. (Iron + sand + water) -------> ( iron + sand) ------> sand
C. The step of separation of iron and sand
Explanation:
A. Percentage mass of the mixtures:
Total mass of mixture = (15.0 + 25.0 + 250.0) g =290.0 g
percentage mass of iron = 15/290 * 100% = 5.17%
percentage mass of sand = 25/290 * 100% = 8.62%
percentage mass of water = 250/290 * 100% = 86.205%
B. Flow chart of separation procedure
(Iron + sand + water) -------> separation by filtration using filter paper and funnel to remove water --------> ( iron + sand) -----------> separation using magnet to remove iron ------> sand
C. The step of separation of iron and sand by magnetization of iron will have the highest amount of error because during the process, some iron particles may not readily be attracted to the magnet as they may have become interlaced in-between sand grains. Also, some sand particle may also be attracted to the magnet as they are are borne on iron particles.
