WHAT IS COMPLEXOMETRY ?
Complexometric titrations are based on the
formation of a complex between the analyte
and the titrant

QUESTION
2+
100 mL of 0.02 M Cd solution is buffered at a pH of 10.2. Determine
2+
the pCd at 0%, 50%, 100% and 200% titration if titrated with 0.02 M
EDTA solution. And create the curve of titration
Answer :

0% titration

2+
pCd = - log [Cd ]
= - log [0.02]

KMY. Y =
[Cd2+][Y ]

(3.98 x 1018 )(0.47) = 1.87 x 1018

At the equivalent point, we also know that virtually
all of our nickel exists as 2
0.02 x 100 mL
So [ 2 ] =
100 mL EDTA+100 mL Cd2+
= 0.01 M

pCd = - log [Cd ]

pCd = 10.14

ANSWER
200% titration
