chelate

DEFINITION 8 A ____________ is produced when a metal ion coordinates with two or more donor groups of a single ligand to form a five- or six membered heterocyclic ring TERM 9

unidentate bidentate

DEFINITION 9 A ligand that has a single donor group is called _________ A ligand that has two donor groups is called __________ TERM 10

macrocycle

DEFINITION 10 A __________________ is formed between a metal ion and a cyclic organic compound

EDTA combines with metal ions in a _________ ratio regardless of the charge on the cation TERM 17

Conditional, or effective, formation constants

DEFINITION 17 pH dependent equilibrium constants that apply at a single pH only. TERM 18

Fe y, Hg y2, Zn y2, Fe y2, Ca y

DEFINITION 18 EDTA titration curves Ky order from top to bottom TERM 19

Indicators for EDTA titrations

DEFINITION 19 Organic dyes that form colored chelates with metal ions in a pM range that is characteristic of the particular cation and dye TERM 20

Eriochrome Black T and calcon

DEFINITION 20 Indicators for EDTA titrations

red

the indicators for EDTA form __________ complexes in the presence of metal ions TERM 22

blue

DEFINITION 22 when the EDTA complexes all of the metal in the solution, the color of the indicator changes to __________ TERM 23

back titration

DEFINITION 23 measured excess of EDTA solution is added to the analyte. The excess EDTA is titrated with an appropriate standard metal ion solution to a Eriochrome Black T end point TERM 24

displacement method

DEFINITION 24 unmeasured excess of a solution containing the magnesium or zinc complex of EDTA is added to the analyte solution. If the analyte forms a more stable complex with EDTA a displacement reaction occurs. The displaced Mg2+ or Zn2+ is then titrated with standard EDTA solution. TERM 25

Spectrophotometric Potentiometric

iodide triiodide

oxidant converts ________ to ________ in the flask during an iodometric titration TERM 32

iron sodium thiosulfate

DEFINITION 32 Common reducing agents-- used to determine oxidants in an iodometric titration TERM 33

iodimetric

DEFINITION 33 In ____________ titrations, the analyte (a reducing agent) reacts with iodine to produce iodide TERM 34

iodometric

DEFINITION 34 In _____________ titrations, the analyte (an oxidizing agent) reacts with an unmeasured excess of iodide to produce iodine
