Question

I am having issues getting this calculations for my titrations:

My solution was calcium chloride from solid calcium chloride dihydrate and distilled water

we titrate 0.02 M calcium chloride solution

I used 0.2938 solid calcium chloride dihydrate

It was taken 10.0 mL of the solution.

and 70 mL of the titrate was used

my titrate was EDTA4-

and we use a buffer with ethanolamine,magnesium,sulfatem and EDTAH4

I need to find from each titration:

1)         Moles of Ca2+ in 10.00 mL

2)         Moles of EDTA4- in 10.00 mL

3)         [EDTA4-]

3a) average [EDTA4-]

4)         %RSD for [EDTA4-]

Even just a sample one will be awasome thank you.

Explanation / Answer

you have taken 0.2938 gm of solid calcium chloride dihydrate i.e. about 2 mmoles.

Since you have mentioned the concentration to be 0.02 M thus volume of your calcium chloride solution should be 100 ml. Of this 100 ml, 10 ml of solution has been subjected to titration.

Your titrant is EDTA4- which is a hexadentate ligand and combines with Ca2+ to form 1:1 complex thus mmoles of Ca2+ = mmoles of EDTA4-.

In the table you have given the data which i supposed must be titre value.

Trial 1;

In100 ml of solution mmoles of CaCl2.2H2O = 2 mmoles , then in 10 ml it would be 0.2 mmoles, and since mmoles of Ca2+ = mmoles of EDTA4- thus mmoles of EDTA4- = 0.2 mmoles.

Volume of EDTA4- used is 22.4 ml

Thus, Molarity * volume = moles

Hence, Molarity of EDTA4- = 0.2 / 22.4 = 0.0089 M

From Trial 2, volume = 24 ml

Hence, Molarity of EDTA4- = 0.0083 M

From Trial 3, volume = 23.5 ml

Hence, Molarity of EDTA4- = 0.0085 M

Average [EDTA4-] = 0.0086 M

Now moles of EDTA4- in 10 ml = M * 10 = 0.086 M

% RSD based on this calculation is 3.5%.
