Multiparametric curve fitting-I Computer-assisted evaluation of chelatometric titrations with metallochromic

Abstract:
A curve-fitting procedure has been developed for the photometric complex-formation titration of the metal-indicator complex MIn(N) which is assumed to predominate in solution. By means of a least-squares procedure the following five parameters were determined: the end-point, the absorbance of the indicator complex A(M)XXX. the indicator concentration CXXX, the stability constants and, if possible, k(MY) . A modified version of Sillen's Letagrop Vrid has been used for the mathematical-statistical approach of the non-linear model based upon the non-transformed function A = f(v). Additional information is obtained about the goodness of fit, indicating whether the chosen model with predominance of MIn(N) is correct or not. The use of the program is demonstrated by application to chelatometric microtitrations of zinc and lead with EDTA, using Naphthylazoxine 6S and SNAZOXS as metallochromic indicators.

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...

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...
