permanganate solution until a pink color is obtained which persists for 15-20 seconds. From the molarity of the permanganate solution and the fact that the antimony is oxidized from the trivalent to the pentavalent state, calculate the amount of Sb present in the sample; also calculate the corresponding amount of Sb204 and apply the necessary correction for Sb2O4 in the impure stannic oxide, § 410. Note 1. Hot 18 molar sulphuric acid oxidizes metallic antimony to antimonous ion, provided the heating is not carried on after all the antimony is in solution; the tin is oxidized to stannic ion, while the lead separates out as lead sulphate. Note 2. The potassium sulphate is added in order to raise the boiling point of the solution and thereby bring about a more rapid decomposition of the alloy. Note 3. The addition of the tartaric and hydrochloric acids serves to keep the antimony in solution by forming the complex tartrate ion and by preventing the hydrolysis of the antimony salts. Note 4. The solution is titrated at once, because upon standing some antimonous ion is oxidized by atmospheric oxygen. Note 5. The solution must be cooled to room temperature before titrating because chloride ion is rapidly oxidized to chlorine by permanganate ion in hot solutions. Note 6. The end point is not permanent but gradually fades due to the slow oxidation of chloride ion to chlorine by the slight excess of permanganate ion necessary to give the end point.
