Finals T1: COMPLEXATION Flashcards
is the
process based on the formation of a complex substance in
the course of analysis.
Complexometry (complex-formation method)
use to detect elements like?
Calcium, copper, mercury, magnesium, zinc,aluminum and bismuth
will react with metal ions to form a water-soluble
stable complex or a chelate compound
or the common titrant in Complexometry
EDTA
EDTA chemical name
Ethylene diamine tetra acetic Acid
When a metal ion combines with a molecule which donate
electrons, the resulting compound is termed a _______?
Complex
If the combining molecule contains two or more groups that
donate electrons, this complex is called a ______
chelate
The groups bound to the central ion are called _______?
Ligands
Reason why Complexometric method is use?
Due to the formation of insoluble compounds, the complexometry is use to increase the solubility of the insoluble compound.
it also use to detect elements that causes hardness to the water.
Types of Ligands/ Chelating agent:
Ammonia (NH3)
Ethane-1,2-diamine (Edamine)
EDTA
1,4,7-triazaheptane (TACN)
measure of the strength of the
interaction between the reagents that come together to form the complex.
Stability constant
Stability constants should be greater than 8 = to ______
Increase complex formation
Element that forms very weak complex
Li (Lithium)
Na (Sodium)
Stability constants of an element that is below 8
