A

number of binding ligands

27
Q

serves as sequestering agent to inactivate metal ions by binding or chelation

A

EDTA

28
Q

analyte, titrant, and indicator in Liebig method

A

alkali cyanide, silver nitrate, potassium iodide

29
Q

Ksp at 25° C

A

1.82x10^-10

30
Q

factors and their effect on solubility, s (M)

A

common ion effect (decreases), weak acid formation (increases), complex ion formation (increases)

31
Q

Volhard indicator and titrant

A

ferric alum (blood-red complex), thiocyanate

32
Q

Mohr indicator and titrant

A

potassium oxalate (red ppt), silver nitrate

33
Q

Fajans indicator and titrant

A

DCF (pink) or eosin/tetrabromofluorescein (for Br-, I-. SCN-), silver nitrate

34
Q

Iodimetry vs Iodometry

A

iodimetry - direct titration of analyte (RA) with iodine (OA); iodometry - indirect determination of analyte (RA) thru excess iodide (RA), consequently titrated with thiosulfate with starch indicator

cathode in catholyte

39
Q

5 basic components of spectroscopy

A

source -> wavelength selector -> sample in cell or cuvette -> detector -> signal processor

40
Q

line vs continuum source

A

line - emits radiation over selected wavelength; continuum - over a broad range of wavelength

41
Q

filter vs monochromator

A

filter - no continuous variation of wavelength; monochromator - has continuous variation

42
Q

spectroscopy most extensively employed in quantitative analysis

A

UV-Vis

43
