Indicators for EDTA titrations
A CaCO3 solution that will be used to standardize EDTA was
prepared by dissolving 2.8000 g of solid CaCO3 in 100 mL dilute The indicator is usually a weaker chelate forming ligand.

consuming 29.00 mL of the titrant to reach the endpoint. Express MgIn- (Color 1) + Y4- MgY2- + In3- (Color 2)
the concentration of EDTA in molarity and in CaCO3 titer.

Sample Problem:
A 100.0 mL aliquot of a city drinking water was treated with a small
amount of an NH3-NH4Cl buffer to bring the pH to 10. After the
addition of Calmagite indicator, the solution required 21.46 mL of
5.140 x 10-3 M EDTA. Calculate the water hardness in terms of ppm

CN- masks Cd2+, Zn2+, Hg2+, Co2+, Cu+, Ag+, Ni2+, Pd2+, Pt2+,
Fe2+, and Fe3+, but not Mg2+, Ca2+, Mn2+, or Pb2+.
e.g. when CN- is added to a solution containing Cd2+ and
Pb2+, only Pb2+ reacts with EDTA.
