Solutions for Complexometric Titrations Exercises
1.
The fraction of EDTA that is in the fully ionized form (Y4-) is given by αY4-. As the
solution becomes more basic and the pH increases, more of the acidic
hydrogens are removed from EDTA and αY4 increases.
2.
KNf = αY4-Kf = (0.041)(6.17 x 108) = 2.5 x 107
at pH = 9, αY4- = 0.041 and for Mg2+, Kf = 108.79 = 6.17 x 108
3.
A metal ion indicator is a substance that complexes metal ions and has a
different color in solution in the free form than when complexed. As the EDTA
titrant is added to the sample plus indicator, the EDTA complexes metal ions.
When enough EDTA has been added to complex all free metal ions in solution,
the EDTA begins to remove the few remaining metal ions that are bound to the
indicator, thus causing the indicator to undergo a color change just at the
equivalence point. The indicator must bind the metal ions less strongly than the
EDTA. Solutions for Complexometric Titrations Exercises

Two volumes of the EDTA solution will be needed for each volume of the Mn2+
solution so at the equivalence point the concentration of the MnY2- is given by
At the equivalence point, assume that all of the Mn2+ and EDTA are initially
complexed (as MnY2-), then dissociate according to:
MnY2- º Mn2+ + EDTA
init: 0.00333 M

For Mn2+, Kf = 7.76 x 1013 and at pH = 7.00, αY4- = 3.8 x 10-4.
x = 3.4 x 10-7 M = [Mn2+]
