2) From 1.3515 g FeCl3 containing powder mixture 100.0 cm3 stock solution was prepared using nitric acid. A
10.0 cm3 aliquot of this stock solution was diluted to 100 cm3 and the pH of this solution was adjusted to 2.
This solution was titrated by 0.05 M f=1.020 EDTA standard solution.
A) What is the concentration (mol/dm3) of Fe(III) ions not bounded to EDTA
a) in the diluted solution, before titration;
b) at the equivalence point;
c) at 95 % degree of titration;
(KFe(III)-EDTA = 1.6x1028; MM: FeCl3•6H2O: 270.3g
The cumulative protonation constants of EDTA: β1 = 2.2x1010; β2 = 3.7x1016; β3 = 2.1x1019 ; β4 = 2.5x1021)
Calculations: a)
b)
c)
B) Calculate the error of titration, if the
d) pFe3+ = 13.2?
(5x10−3 M; 3.76x10-9 M; 2.3x10-4 M; 4.93%)
3) Between how many grams the sample should be weighed, if we need a consumption between 8 and 10
ml? The sample contains 60 w/w% bismuth salt, the titrant is 0.05 M f=1.015 EDTA solution.
M=305.03 g/mol (0.2064g – 0.258 g)
4) 100 ml stock solution is made of 20 ml of original solution which contains Ca2+ and Mg2+. 20 ml of the
stock solution is diluted to 100 ml with water, then 2 ml 10% NaOH is added. The solution is titrated with
0.05 M EDTA (f=0.995), the indicator is murexide. The consumption is 6.55 ml. After that, 20% HCl and
NH3 is added to the solution, with eriochrome black T indicator the consumption of 0.025 M f= 1.010
EDTA is 7.3 ml.
What is the m/V% Ca2+ and Mg2+ content of the original solution?
M(Ca)=40 g/mol M(Mg)=24 g/mol
(Ca2+: 0.325 m/V%; Mg2+: 0.1106 m/V%)
