Abstract:
A capillary electrophoretic (CE) method was developed for the sensitive determination of V(V) and V(IV). A Mo(VI)-P(V) reagent reacted with a mixture of trace amounts of V(V) and V(IV) to form the [P(V(V)Mo(11))O40]4- and [P(V(IV)Mo11)O40]5- complexes in 0.1 M monochloroacetate buffer (pH 2.2). Since the V-substituted Keggin anions possessed high molar absorptivities in the UV region and the peaks due to their migrations were well separated in the electropherogram, the pre-column complex formation reaction was applied to the simultaneous CE determination of V(V) and V(IV) with direct UV detection at 220 nm. The calibration curves were linear over two orders of magnitude with detection limits of 5 x 10(-7) M for V(V) and 2 x 10(-7) M for V(IV).

EDTA: Direct, Back-, and Displacement Titration
Direct titration involves buffering the metal ion solution to the desired pH and directly titrating with standard EDTA until the endpoint. The optimum pH ensures a large conditional formation constant of metal−EDTA and visibility of the free indicator color in the solution. In addition, auxiliary complexing reagents are used to prevent the precipitation of metal hydroxides and...
Effects of EDTA on End-Point Detection Methods
In the visual method, metal-ion indicators (metallochromic dyes), which have distinct colors in their free and complex forms, are added to the mixture to signal the titration's end point. They form stable complexes with metal ions, but these complexes are weaker than the corresponding metal–EDTA complexes. As a result, EDTA...
