Question

The edta stock solution is 5.503 x 10^-5 M. Please show all work. Will rate. This is for an analytical chemistry class. So Determination (20 Points: 10 points titration, 10 points error/statistics) Sulfate was determined through an indirect titration. A 10.00 mL aliquot of tap water was treated with excess Ba(NO32 to form a precipitate at a pH of 1.00. This precipitate was filtered and washed before being boiled with 125.00 mL of the standardized EDTA at a pH of 10.00. Excess EDTA was titrated with Mg2 at a pH of 10.00 using Eriochrome Black T indicator. SO4 Titration Trial V Mg (mL) 21.31 22.8 20.32 23.26 18.83 23.19 22.69 22.87 22.55 23.2

Explanation / Answer

1 mole of EDTA reacts with 1 mole of Ba2+

excess EDTA reacts with Mg2+

concentration of sulfate = total EDTA - EDTA reacted with Mg2+

Trial 1

Total EDTA = 5.503 x 10^-5 M x 125 ml

                   = 6.9 x 10^-3 mmol

lets say molarity of Mg2+ solution is same as EDTA solution molarity, then,

Excess unreacted EDTA = 5.503 x 10^-5 M x 21.31 ml

                                        = 1.2 x 10^-3 mmol

moles of sulfate present = EDTA reacted

                                       = 6.9 x 10^-3 - 1.2 x 10^-3

                                       = 5.7 x 10^-3 mmol

mass of sulfate present = 5.7 x 10^-3 mmol x 96.06 g/mol

                                      = 0.55 mg in 10 ml tap water

[please note : exact molarity of Mg2+ is needed to be fed above to get actual concentration of sulfate in 10 ml tap water sample].
