Question

You are a chemist, you know that in the analysis for total hardness, formation of Ca-EDTA complex in the presence of magnesium-calmagite indicator or Mg-Ind complex involves the following process:

Based on the chemical reactions provided, which of the following is equivalent to KMg-EDTA?

a. [Mg-EDTA] / {[Mg2+] [EDTA2-]}

b. {[Mg-EDTA] [Ind2-]} / {Mg-Ind] [EDTA2-]}

c.  [Mg2+] [EDTA2-]

d. {[Mg2+] [EDTA2-]} / [Mg-EDTA] {[Mg-EDTA]

Ca2*(aq) + EDTA²-(aq) = Ca-EDTA (aq) KcaEDTA
Mg-Ind (aq) = Mg2*(aq) + Ind2-(aq)
1/KMg-Ind
Mg2*(aq) + EDTA²-(aq) Mg-EDTA (aq) KMg-EDTA
Transcribed Image Text:Ca2*(aq) + EDTA²-(aq) = Ca-EDTA (aq) KcaEDTA Mg-Ind (aq) = Mg2*(aq) + Ind2-(aq) 1/KMg-Ind Mg2*(aq) + EDTA²-(aq) Mg-EDTA (aq) KMg-EDTA
