The most important requirement for a metallochromic indicator to be useful in signaling the
endpoint for a complexometric titration is that

The correct answer is: the condition formation constant between the indicator and the
metal should be smaller than the conditional formation constant between the titrant and

14. A student standardized a solution of 0.05 N NaOH with 0.25g of KHP (MM = 204.20 and required 25.00
-5
mL to reach the phenolphthalein endpoint. He obtained 4.897 x 10 N. His calculated normally is wrong
because. he should get 0.04897 N NaOH since the volume should be in liters..

Alternative:

15. What is the percentage of Na2O in a sample of impure Na2CO3 which weighs 1.1 g and which requires 35
ml of 0.5N H2SO4 for titration to the methyl orange end point? 0.4932.

16. Which combination of indicators is usually used for determination of combinations of any of these soda
ash components (NaOH, NaHCO3, Na2CO32)? Methly orange - phenolphthalein.

17. An unknown solution containing CO3 is clear and colorless. Which list of cations could it contain? K ,
+
+
NH4 , Na .

Solution:
Since the solution is colorless, it contains K+, Na+, and NH4+. Cations of alkali (group 1A), alkaline
earth (group 2A) metals and ammonium ions are colorless since the electrons of these ions do not
absorb light in the visible region of the spectrum
18. What is the greatest advantage of doing potentiometric titration against all other titration methods? The
determination of the endpoint is not visual..
19. A 3.7818 g. sample of copper (50%) is discovered in HNO and diluted to 250 ml. If 25 ml of that solution
required 50ml. Of thiosulfate solution for titration of the liberated iodine, what is the copper titer of the

21. An analysis for disulram, C10H20N2S4, in Antabuse is carried out by oxidizing the sulfur to H2SO4 and
titrating the H2SO4 with NaOH. If a 0.4613-g sample of Antabuse is taken through this procdure, requiring
34.85 mL of 0.02500 M NaOH to titrate the H2SO4, what is the %w/w disulram in the sample? 7.00 %

25. When performing EDTA titrations, pH is an important factor. Basic conditions are ensured since
most metals form complex with ions during this condition. Too basic conditions are avoided

because. insoluble hydroxides and basic oxides form thus resulting to a negative error at the
endpoint..
