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?

According to Appendix I, Cu2+ forms two complexes with acetate:

Cu2++CH3CO2−⇌Cu(CH3CO2)+ â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰Î²1(=K1)Cu2++2CH3CO2−⇌Cu(CH3CO2)2 â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰Î²2

(a) Referring to Box 6-2, find K2 for the reaction

Cu(CH3CO2)++CH3CO2−⇌Cu(CH3CO2)2(aq) â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰K2

(b) Consider 1.00 L of solution prepared by mixing 1.00 × 10-4 mol Cu(ClO4)2 and 0.100 mol CH3CO2Na. Use Equation 12-16 to find the fraction of copper in the form Cu2+


Consider the titration of 25.0 mL of 0.020 0 M MnSO4 with 0.010 0 M EDTA in a solution buffered to pH 8.00. Calculate pMn2+ at the following volumes of added EDTA and sketch the titration curve:

(a) 0 mL (b) 20.0 mL (c) 40.0 mL (d) 49.0 mL (e) 49.9 mL (f) 50.0 mL (g) 50.1 mL (h) 55.0 mL (i) 60.0 mL

Calculate [HY3-] in a solution prepared by mixing 10.00 mL of 0.010 0 M VOSO4, 9.90 mL of 0.010 0 M EDTA, and 10.0 mL of buffer with a pH of 4.00
