A 15.00 mL urine specimen containing Ca2+ and Mg2+ was diluted to 2.000 L. A 10.00 mL sample was taken and buffered to a pH of 10 and required 27.32 mL of 0.003960 M EDTA to react with 'all' the Ca²+ and Mg2+. A second 10.00 mL sample was taken and all the Ca²+ was precipitated as Ca(C204) (s). The Ca(C204) (s) precipitate was then taken and dissolved in 18.00 mL of water, buffered to a pH of 10, and required 12.21 mL of 0.003960 M EDTA solution to react with all the Ca2+. Calculate the concentration of Ca²+ and Mg2+ in the original urine specimen.

Question
A 15.00 mL urine specimen containing Ca2+ and Mg2+ was diluted to 2.000 L. A 10.00
mL sample was taken and buffered to a pH of 10 and required 27.32 mL of 0.003960 M
EDTA to react with 'all' the Ca²+ and Mg2+. A second 10.00 mL sample was taken and
all the Ca²+ was precipitated as Ca(C204)(s). The Ca(C2O4) (s) precipitate was then taken
and dissolved in 18.00 mL of water, buffered to a pH of 10, and required 12.21 mL of
0.003960 M EDTA solution to react with all the Ca2+. Calculate the concentration of Ca²+
and Mg2+ in the original urine specimen.
