Complexometry Flashcards
Is the association of two or more chemical species that are capable of independent existence by
sharing one or morepairsofelectrons
Complexation
It has found a wide application
since the discovery of organic derivatives,in most cases those of a-amino acids,______
complexones.
______ are stable complexes formed from the reaction of complexones with metal ions.
Complexonates,
Is one of the complexonates most often used for analysis.
Ethylendiamintetraacetate(EDTA)
In order to push the equilibrium of complexonate formation to the right,substances bindingH+ions, such as _________may beadded to thesolution.
ammonia buffer(NH4OH+NH4Cl),
iscausedbydissolvedcalciumandmagnesiumsalts.ItisexpressedbymillimolesofCa2+andMg2+ionsinaliter(mmol/l).
Water hardness
Caused by calcium and magnesium carbonates
Temporary hardness
Maintained by sulfates, chlorides, silicates, phosphates and nitrates of calcium and magnesium
Permanent hardness

Water Softening
Water is boiled until it evaporates and condenses, leaving behind impurities.
Water is boiled until it evaporates and condenses, leaving behind impurities.
Water is boiled until it evaporates and condenses, leaving behind impuritie
Boiling can be used to remove temporary hardness
Distillation
Physical Methods
Softening by
slakedlime, soda,sodium phosphate Na3PO4, sodium tetraborate Na2B4O7,or other materials,which forminsolublecarbonates,phosphates,boratesofcalciumorhydroxidewithmagnesiumsalts
Chemical methods
Employed on an industrial scale; makes used of natural or synthetic macromolecular compounds, called ion exchangers or ionites
Ion exchange
Ionites whose OH- ions neutralize the H+ ions form from the cationic proces
Anionites
