Question

Hi Expert!

Please answer all the following parts:

a) Potassium ion in 250.0 (±0.1) mL water sample was precipitated with sodium tetraphenylborate.

K+ + (Ph)4B- ==> KB(Ph)4 (s); The precipitate was filtered, washed, dissolved in an organic solvent, and treated with excess Hg(EDTA)2-:

4HgY2-   +   (Ph)4B-   +   4H2O ==> H3BO3   +   4PhHg+    +    4HY3-    +    OH-

The liberated EDTA was titrated with with 28.73 (±0.03) mL of 0.0437 (±0.0001) M Zn2+. Find [K+] and its absolute uncertainty in the original sample.

B) A 25.00 mL sample containing Fe3+ and Cu2+ required 16.06 mL of 0.05083 M EDTA for complete titration. A 50.00 mL sample of the unknown was treated with NH4F to protect the Fe3+. The Cu2+ was reduced and masked by thiourea. Addition of 25.00 mL of 0.05083 M EDTA liberated Fe3+ from the fluoride complex to for an EDTA complex. The excess EDTA required 19.77 mL of 0.01883 M Pb2+ to reach a zylenol orange end point. Find the [Cu2+] in the original sample?

Thank you in advance!

Explanation / Answer

solution:-

2) the reaction for the lead EDTA complex is

Pb+2 + EDTA-4 -> Pb+2-(EDTA)

25 mL unknown

EDTA to be added =6.06 mL x 0.051 M of EDTA or 0.819 mMoles

50 mL sample requires 0.897 mMoles to react with Fe+3

Half of that is requires = 0.897/2=0.449

=> therefore the remainder is 0.819-0.449 = 0.370 mMoles of Cu^+2

this is 1:1 Cu+2-EDTA complex

therefore the number of mMoles of Cu+2= 0.370mMoles

The Concentration of [Cu^+2] = 0.370mMoles/25 ml =0.0418 M Cu^+2

The answer is [Cu^+2]= 0.0418 M
