Is it posible to remove 99% of 1.0 μM CuY2- impurity (by reduction to solid Cu) from a 10.0 mM CoY2- solution at pH 4.0 without reducing any cobalt? Here, Y (actually, Y4-) is EDTA and the total concentration of free EDTA is 10.0 mM. Hint: Concepts of Equilibrium of EDTA Complex Formation are involved in the solution of this problem. Standard reduction potentials to use in this problem are: CuY2- + 2e- ➙ Cu(s) + Y4- E°= -0.216 V Co2+ + 2e- ➙ Co(s) E°= -0.282 V.
