A 25.00 ml solution of 0.05 M cation (Cat) is titrated
with 0.05 M Disodium EDTA VS. The Cat also forms a 1:1 complex with EDTA
1. What is the volume of the EDTA VS that will be
consumed at the equivalence point? 25.00 ml Complexometry Complexometric DATA:
0.01 moles of the metal indicator (Ind) was added ( a
solid reagent was added so the volume contribution is negligible). Kf (Cat-EDTA) = 1.05 x 1016 Kf (Cat-Ind) = 2.25 x 108 It was determined that the [Cat-Ind]/[Ind] must be 1/8 in order for the color change to be discernible.
1. What is the volume of the EDTA VS that will be
consumed at endpoint? Complexometry STEPS:
1. Compute for the [Cat] at the equivalence point.
[Cat] = 0.025 = 1.273 x10 -9 M 1.05 x 1016
2. Compute for the [Cat] that will give a Cat-Ind/Ind
ratio of 1/8 pKf(Cat-Ind) +pCat = - log [Cat-Ind/Ind] (recall how we derive this) = - log 1/8 = 0.903 Complexometry STEPS: 2. Compute for the [Cat] that will give a Cat-Ind/Ind ratio of 1/8 pKf(Cat-Ind) + pCat = 0.903 pCat = 0.903 - pKf(Cat-Ind) = 0.903 - (- log 2.25 x 108) = 9.255 (convert this [Cat] antilog (-9.255) = [Cat] = 5.56 x10-10 M (This is the metal concentration needed to have a ratio of 1/8. This is smaller than the metal concentration at the equivalence point. Which means that additional EDTA VS must be added in order to reach the endpoint) Complexometry STEPS: 3.Compute for the [EDTA] needed at the endpoint point using the [Cat] computed previously. Kf = [Cat-EDTA]/ [Cat] [EDTA] Take note that this is the same concentration used. Though in actuality, 1.05 x 1016= 0.025 this must be adjusted to account for the increase in volume. For easier 5.56 x10-10 [EDTA] computation, we assume that the volume of EDTA added is negligible. We [EDTA] = 4.28 x 10-9 M can check if our assumption is correct The titrant (0.05 M) contains 0.05 once we finished the computation. moles/ liter [EDTA] = 8.56 x 10-8 L or 8.56 x 10-5 mL GRAVIMETRY DATA: 1.2345 grams of NaCl is being determined gravimetrically. Excess amounts of 1N AgNO3 was added to ensure complete precipitation of AgCl.
NaCl = 58.44 g/mol
AgCl = 143.32 g/mol weight of AgCl = 2.3456 g
1. What is the %Purity (in g/g) of the analyte?
GRAVIMETRY STEPS
1. Determine the GRAVIMETRIC FACTOR (this factor will tell
you the equivalent amount/weight of the analyte/sample using the weight of the precipitate collected.)
mole AgCl 1 mole NaCl 58.44 g NaCl
2.3456 g AgCl x x x 143.32 g AgCl 1 mole AgCl mole NaCl
This is the gravimetric factor
GF = 0.4078 You can say that each gram of AgCl is equivalent to 0.4078 g of NaCl 2.3456 g AgCl = 0.9565 g NaCl GRAVIMETRY STEPS
