Complex-Formation Titration Flashcards
a sample in solution is titrated with a standard solution of a ligand to form a colored complex in the presence of an indicator until the endpoint is reached
Complex-Formation Method / Complexation Titrimetry / Complexometric Titration
species with a least one unshared pair of electrons available for bond formation (e.g. H2O, NH3, X2, and most metal ion in water).
Ligand
yield complex ions or coordination compounds (product formed when a cation bonds with an electron donor species
based on its coordination number
Complex-Formation Method / Complexation Titrimetry / Complexometric Titration
produced when a metal ion coordinates with single ligand with one donor group
Complex
produced when a metal ion coordinates with single ligand with two or more donor groups
Chelate
used in the assay of substances containing metals
Complex-Formation Method / Complexation Titrimetry / Complexometric Titration
determination of hardness of water (ppm)
Complex-Formation Method / Complexation Titrimetry / Complexometric Titration
substances that render metals in the sample inactive
Masking agent
Examples of masking agent
Triethanolamine, Thioglycols, Potassium cyanide, Ammonium fluoride
masking agent that suppress Al-EDTA in presence of Mg-EDTA
Triethanolamine
masking agents that inactivate Hg and Cu, to allow titration of Zn at pH 6
Thioglycols
masks metals like Co, Ni, Cu and Zn
Potassium cyanide
masks Ca, Mg and Al, to allow titration of Zn
Ammonium fluoride
Examples: titration of Bi at pH 2, titration of Ca at pH 13
Adjusting the pH of solution
Bi is titrated at what pH?
2
Ca is titrated at what pH?
13
binds the metal cation being determined in complexometric analyses
Standard solutions serve as a ligand
