Calculate the pZn of a solution prepared by mixing 25.0 mL of 0.0100 M EDTA with 50.0 mL of 0.00500 M Zn2 . Assume that both the Zn2 and EDTA solutions are buffered with 0.100 M NH3 and 0.176 M NH4Cl.

Explanation:

Using the approach of Henderson-HasselBalch equation, we have :

where;

the pKa of = 9.26

concentration of = 0.100 M

concentration of = 0.176 M

∴

the pH of the buffered solution is :

The Chemical equation for the reaction of and EDTA is :

Here;

denotes the fully deprotonated form of the EDTA

The formation constant of the equation for the reaction can be represented as:

     ----- (1)

The logarithm of the formation constant of Zn - EDTA complex = 16.5

 =

 =

Since the formation constant in the above equation signifies that the EDTA is present in  ,

Then:

From (1)

∴

where;

= conditional formation constant

= the fraction of EDTA that exit in the form of the presences of the 4 charges .

So at equivalence point :

all the initially in titrand  is now present in

Obtaining the data for the value of at the reference table:

 =  

∴

To calculate the moles of  EDTA ,  , ; we have:

moles of  EDTA = 0.0100 M × 0.025 L

moles of  EDTA =

moles of = 0.00500 M  × 0.050 L

moles of =

moles of    =  

moles of    =

moles of    =

moles of    = 0.0033333 M

Recall that:

Assume Q² is the amount of complex dissociated in

i.e

Q = M

african americans demonstrated their newly found freedom by relocating often in search of relatives whom they had been separated from during slavery. others established schools to educate freed people and they built institutions such as churches and political organizations to advocate for their rights.
