Abstract:
Ruthenium is extracted by benzyl alcohol from 5M LiCl containing ethyl-alpha-isonitrosoacetoacetate at pH 4-6. The extraction is quantitative if the solution is heated to boiling for 15 min. The benzyl alcohol extract shows maximum absorbance at 470 nm and at this wavelength Beer's law is obeyed over the ruthenium concentration range 0.1-1.8 mug ml . The error is 4% for 0.5 mug ml .

01:23EDTA: Indirect and Alkalimetric Titration
Unlike direct titration, back-titration, and displacement titration, indirect titration is an EDTA titration method for quantifying anions. In the indirect titration method, anions are precipitated as their insoluble salts with excess metal ions. The filtrate containing the excess metal ions is directly titrated with standard EDTA until the endpoint is achieved. Another approach involves extracting the metal ion and back-titrating with standard EDTA to obtain the endpoint. In this way, the...
01:18Effects 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...
