EDTA Titrations

EDTA Titrations

We already used metal complexation in Week 2 for the Fe Colorimetry Experiment:

Fe2+ + 3 Fz2- => Fe(Fz)34-

Chem M3LC R. Corn

Ferrozine (Fz2-) is a metal ligand

Three Ferrozine will form a metal-ligand complex with Fe2+

Metal Complex Formation Constants

Weak Metal Complex Formation Constants have similar values of K1 to Kn

Therefore, many species co-exist in solution!

EDTA Metal Ion Complexation Equilibria Ethylene Diamine Tetra-acetic Acid (H4Y)

EDTA - the world's best metal ion chelator

Y4-

"Chelate"

Y4-

pH

Most EDTA titrations are performed at pH >= 10.
