Neotetrazolium chloride: a new reagent for spectrophotometric determination of manganese
1Department of Chemistry, Higher Institute of Agriculture, BG-4000 Plovdiv, Bulgaria.
Abstract:
The interaction of Mn(VII) and the Neotetrazolium chloride has been examined. The ion-associate formed is extracted into 1,2di-chloroethane. The optimum conditions have been established. The molar absorptivity of the complex is (9.1+/-0.08)x10(5) l mol(-1) cm(-1). The sensitivity of the method is 6.04x1010(-5) mug cm(-2). It is possible to extract and determine manganese in the presence of large number of cations and anions. The characteristic values for the extraction and the aqueous phase equilibria were determined: extraction constant K(ex)=3.21x10(9), distribution constant K(D)=33 and association constant beta=9.72x10(7). The method is applicable to analysis of soils and steels.

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...
