Abstract:
A rapid spectrophotometric method for the determination of 0.1-1.0% of palladium in titanium alloys with dimethylglyoxime is described. The complex is extracted with chloroform and its absorbance measured at 380 nm. Beer's law is obeyed and the molar absorptivity is 170 l.mol(-1).mm(-1). None of the elements in common titanium alloys interfere. The method is rapid, simple and reproducible.

Effects of EDTA on End-Point Detection Methods
Different methods, such as visual observance of metal-ion indicators, spectroscopic techniques, and potentiometric methods, can determine the endpoint of an EDTA titration.
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...

Precipitation Titration: Endpoint Detection Methods
In argentometric precipitation titrations, endpoints can be detected visually by the Mohr, Volhard, and Fajans methods. In the Mohr method, adding a soluble chromate indicator gives an initial yellow color to the analyte solution. As the titrant is added, the first excess of silver ions forms a red silver chromate precipitate, marking the endpoint. The solution pH should be maintained at about 8 by adding solid CaCO3.
