You want to measure the concentration of carbonate (CO32-) in a mildly basic solution by using an EDTA back titration. CaCO3 has a Ksp of 5x10-9. You add 50.00 mL of 0.3484 M CaCl2 to 500.0ml of sample and filter the solution to remove the precipitate. You then take 250.0 mL of the filtered solution and titrate with 0.1786 M EDTA. You require 23.72 mL to reach the endpoint. What is the concentration of carbonate in the original sample?
