(i) You have been provided with a sample collected from a water pool beside a slag heap at the iron ore mine. 35 uL of the sample is added to 1165 uL of buffered ferrozine (excess). If the %T recorded at 562 nm in a 2 mm cuvette is found to be 25%, calculate the concentration of Fe(II) in the sample in mol L−1 and ppm. Comment on the contamination level. (ii) Comment on a possible contaminant that could interfere with the assay and suggest an approach that could be used to account for its presence.

A 0.9352g sample of ore containing Fe³+, Al³+ and Sr²+ was dissolved and made up to 500.00 mL. The analysis of metals was performed using complexation volumetry. Initially, an aliquot of 50.00 mL had its pH adjusted to 1.0 and titrated with a standard 0.03145 mol/L EDTA solution, requiring 6.95 mL to reach the end point. Subsequently, another 25.00 mL aliquot was buffered at pH=5 and titrated with the same EDTA solution, requiring 6.24 mL to reach the end point. Finally, a third aliquot of 25.00 mL was titrated at pH=11, requiring 11.10 mL of the same EDTA solution to complete the titration. Given the molar masses: Fe=55.845 g/mol; Al-26.982 g/mol and Sr-87.620 g/mol. a) Determine the percentage of each of the metals in the sample. b) Explain why the change in pH allows the determination of the three ions in this sample.
