Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The formation constant and the difference in molar absorptivities at 470 nm should be determined using linear regression and the Benesi-Hildebrand equation.
Concept introduction:
The Benesi-Hildebrand equation is:
b − length of the solution light passes through
ΔA − difference between absorbance with and without the ligand present
Δe − difference of the molar absorptivities of complex and metal ion.
Kf − formation constant
CM − concentration of metal ion
CL − concentration of ligand.
(b)
Interpretation:
The values of Kf and Δe should be determined using non-linear regression.
Concept introduction:
b − length of the solution light passes through
ΔA − difference between absorbance with and without the ligand present
Δe − difference of the molar absorptivities of complex and metal ion.
Kf − formation constant
CM − concentration of metal ion
CL − concentration of ligand.

- Mixing the chelating reagent B with Ni(II) forms the highly colored NiB22+, whose solutions obey Beer’s lawat 395 nm overa wide range. Provided the analytical concentration of the chelating reagent exceeds that of Ni(II) by a factor of 5 (or more), the cation exists, within the limits of observation, entirely in the form of the complex.

By adjusting the length of the latter until the transmission through the two cells is the same. the concentration of the second solution can be inferred from that of the former.
