The amount of calcium in physiological fluids can be determined by acomplexometric titration with EDTA. In one such analysis a 0.100-mLsample of a blood serum was made basic by adding 2 drops of NaOHand titrated with 0.00119 M EDTA, requiring 0.268 mL to reach theend point. Report the concentration of calcium in the sample as milligramsCa per 100 mL.37. After removing the membranes from an eggshell, the shell is dried andits mass recorded as 5.613 g. The eggshell is transferred to a 250-mLbeaker and dissolved in 25 mL of 6 M HCl. After filtering, the solutioncontaining the dissolved eggshell is diluted to 250 mL in a volumetricflask. A 10.00-mL aliquot is placed in a 125-mL Erlenmeyer flask andbuffered to a pH of 10. Titrating with 0.04988 M EDTA requires 44.11mL to reach the end point. Determine the amount of calcium in theeggshell as %w/w CaCO 3 .38. The concentration of cyanide, CN – , in a copper electroplating bathcan be determined by a complexometric titration with Ag + , formingthe soluble Ag(CN) 2 – complex. In a typical analysis a 5.00-mL samplefrom an electroplating bath is transferred to a 250-mL Erlenmeyer flask,and treated with 100 mL of H 2 O, 5 mL of 20% w/v NaOH and 5 mLof 10% w/v KI. The sample is titrated with 0.1012 M AgNO 3 , requiring27.36 mL to reach the end point as signaled by the formation of ayellow precipitate of AgI. Report the concentration of cyanide as partsper million of NaCN.39. Before the introduction of EDTA most complexation titrations usedAg + or CN – as the titrant. The analysis for Cd 2+ , for example, was accomplishedindirectly by adding an excess of KCN to form Cd(CN) 4 2– ,and back titrating the excess CN – with Ag + , forming Ag(CN) 2 – . In onesuch analysis a 0.3000-g sample of an ore was dissolved and treatedwith 20.00 mL of 0.5000 M KCN. The excess CN – required 13.98 mLof 0.1518 M AgNO 3 to reach the end point. Determine the %w/w Cdin the ore.40. Solutions containing both Fe 3+ and Al 3+ can be selectively analyzed forFe 3+ by buffering to a pH of 2 and titrating with EDTA. The pH of thesolution is then raised to 5 and an excess of EDTA added, resulting inSome of the problems that follow require one ormore equilibrium constants or standard state potentials.For your convenience, here are hyperlinksto the appendices containing these constantsAppendix 10: Solubility ProductsAppendix 11: Acid Dissociation ConstantsAppendix 12: Metal-Ligand Formation ConstantsAppendix 13: Standard State Reduction Potentials
