![Antimony is found naturally in a number of minerals including stibnite. Stibnite typically
contains 5% of Sb,S. Antimony can be obtained by reducing Sb,s, with scrap iron.
Sb,s, + 3Fe 2Sb + 3Fes
(1) How many moles of Sb,S, are in 500 kg of a typical sample of stibnite containing 5% by
mass of Sb,S3?
molar mass of Sb,S, = 340 g mol1; relative atomic mass of Sb = 122
mol [2]
(i) Calculate the mass of antimony that could be obtained by processing 500 kg of stibnite.
mass =
kg
