A 50.0-mL sample containing Ni2+ was treated with 25.0 mL of 0.050 0 M EDTA to complex all the Ni2+ and leave excess EDTA in solution. The excess EDTA was then back-titrated, requiring 5.00 mL of 0.050 0 M Zn2+. What was the concentration of Ni2+ in the original solution?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The concentration of Ni2+ in the original solution is 0.02 M

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

Amount of sample taken= 50.0 mL

Amount of EDTA required for titration =25 mL of 0.05M EDTA

Amount of Zn2+ required for back titration= 5 mL of 0.050 M Zn2+

02

Determine the number of moles of EDTA and Zn2+ required

Number of moles of EDTA required

=25mL0.050MEDTA=1.25mmol

Number of moles of Zn2+ required

=(5mL)(0.050EDTA)=0.25mmol

03

Determine the concentration of Ni2+

Let the number of mols of Ni2+ be x

mmolEDTA=mmolNi2++mmolZn2+1.250mmolEDTA=xmmolNi2++0.250mmolZn2+x=1mmolNi2+

50.0-mL of sample containing Ni2+ was taken

Therefore, concentration of Ni2+in the solution

=1mmol50mL=0.02M

Calculate pCu2+ at each of the following points in the titration of 50.00 mL of 0.001 00 M Cu2+ with 0.00100 M EDTA at pH 11.00 in a solution with [NH3] fixed at 1.00 M:

(a) 0 mL(b) 1.00 mL (c) 45.00 mL (d) 50.00 mL (e) 55.00 mL

A 1.000-mL sample of unknown containing Co2+ and Ni2+ was treated with 25.00 mL of 0.038 72 M EDTA. Back titration with 0.021 27 M Zn2+ at pH 5 required 23.54 mL to reach the xylenol orange end point. A 2.000-mL sample of unknown was passed through an ion-exchange column that retards Co2+ more than Ni2+. The Ni2+ that passed through the column was treated with 25.00 mL of 0.038 72 M EDTA and required 25.63 mL of 0.021 27 M Zn2+ for back titration. The Co2+ emerged from the column later. It, too, was treated with 25.00 mL of 0.038 72 M EDTA. How many milliliters of 0.021 27 M Zn2+ will be required for back titration?

State the purpose of an auxiliary complexing agent and give an example of its use.

Indirect EDTA determination of cesium. Cesium ion does not form a strong EDTA complex, but it can be analyzed by adding a known excess of NaBiI4 in cold concentrated acetic acid containing excess NaI. Solid Cs3Bi2I9 is precipitated, filtered, and removed. The excess yellow is then titrated with EDTA. The end point occurs when the yellow color disappears. (Sodium thiosulfate is used in the reaction to prevent the liberated from being oxidized to yellow aqueous I2 by O2 from the air.) The precipitation is fairly selective for Cs+. The ions Li+, Na+, K+, and low concentrations of Rb+ do not interfere, although Tl+ does. Suppose that 25.00 mL of unknown containing Cs+ were treated with 25.00 mL of 0.08640 M NaBiI4 and the unreacted Bil4-required 14.24 mL of 0.0437 M EDTA for complete titration. Find the concentration of Cs+ in the unknown.
