200.3 mg of magnesium chloride with 98.50% w/w purity is added. Then
20.20 mL of 0.0530 M EDTA is consumed for the pH adjustment. Calculate the molarity of the.
EDTA.
R: 0.0199 M

A 0.200 M solution of EDTA is used to titrate exactly 100.0 mL of

a zinc chloride solution. To obtain the endpoint, 50.00 is required
mL of reagent. Calculate ‰ p/v of zinc chloride.
R: 13.6 ‰ p/v
4-Se titulates with EDTA 100.0 mL of a zinc chloride solution that
it contains 1.5800 g of pure salt in 100.0 mL, using 12.80 mL of titrant
to reach the final point. Calculate the molarity of the EDTA used.
R: 0.9057 M

A chemist who routinely analyzes the hardness of H2Or do you want the volume
from the spent EDTA solution in each determination multiplied by 10
directly ppm of Ca2+What concentration should the solution have?
EDTA is the aliquot of H2Is it always 100.0 mL?
R: 0.02500 M

In a chemical laboratory, sample analyses are frequently conducted.

ZnO. To do this, an aliquot of the
sample and transferred to a 1000.0 mL volumetric flask. It is then taken

9
a portion of 25.00 mL is titrated with EDTA solution. What should it be
molarity of the EDTA solution so that using a weight of 4.8000 g it
make sure that the volume read in the burette divided by 200 indicates the grams
of ZnO per gram of sample?
R: 0.007374 M

A solution contains 18.60 g of dissolved Na.2H2Y.2H2O (PM = 372) in

1000 mL. Express its concentration in: a) molar concentration;
regarding the complexation reaction with calcium ion; c) title in mg
Ca2+/mL. PACa: 40.08

Redox titrations
1-In the assessment of a ferrous salt, 27.30 mL of KMnO has been consumed. 4
0.2000 N. Calculate the number of milliequivalents of ferrous salt contained in the
rate.
R: 5,460 meq

2- Ascorbic acid (vitamin C, PM 176.126) is a reducing agent that

reacts as follows:
C6H8O6 C6H6O6
This compound can be determined through oxidation with a
iodine solution. A sample of 200.0 mL of a citrus fruit drink is
it was acidified with sulfuric acid and 10.00 mL of I was added20.0400 M. Finished
the reaction, the excess of I2was titrated with 30.23 mL of Na22O30.00213 N.
Calculate the milligrams of ascorbic acid per milliliter of beverage.
R: mg vitamin C/mL = 0.3239
