Chapter 19, Problem 88AE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The precipitation of ${\text{Pb(OH)}}_{\text{2}}$ from the solution needs to be determined when 0.10 moles of ${\text{Pb(NO}}_{\text{3}}{\text{)}}_{\text{2}}$ is added to 1.0 L of an aqueous solution buffered at pH 13.00 and containing 0.50 M ${\text{Na}}_{\text{4}}\text{EDTA}$ .

Concept Introduction:

A metal complex can be show as ${\text{[ML}}_{\text{n}}\text{]}$ . Here M indicates the metal atom or ion whereas L indicates the ligands which are present in ‘n’ numbers. The coordination number defined the number of coordinate bonds between metal and ligand.

Usually transition metal ions and post transition metal ions forms coordinate complexes with different ligands.
