Title: Zinc EDTA Titration question
Post by: guevara on December 20, 2014, 07:48:45 AM
i have an exam after 2 days and i still can't answer this question

A piece of impure Zinc weighing 0.1 g was dissolved in 100 mL of dilute acid. 10 mL of this solution is adjusted to pH 10 and titrated against 12.4 mL of 0.01 M EDTA. If the atomic weight of Zn is 65.4, what is the percentage purity of zinc in the sample?

edit title, sjb

How much EDTA did you use up? How does EDTA react with Zinc ion?
