Complexometric Titration, Precipitation Titration, and Gravimetry

EDTA in Complexometric Titration

Description

Complexometric titration uses ligands to bind metal ions. In these reactions, monodentate and polydentate ligands can act as complexing agents. A ligand is a molecule or ion that attaches to a metal ion and forms a complex.

Monodentate and bidentate ligands often form complexes in two or more int...

Transcript

Complexation titrations may employ different monodentate or polydentate ligands.

Polydentate ligands, such as derivatives of amino carboxylic acids, coordinate with metals via carboxylate oxygens and amine nitrogens.

Unlike mono- and bidentate ligands, ligands with higher denticity generate more stable 1:1 metal chelates in a singl...
