A 2.67 g sample of plant tissue was analyzed for its zinc content. 23.25 ml of a standardized 0.010 Molar solution of EDTA was used to titrate the sample (by complexing with the zinc ions), determine the mass of zinc in the sample and express the value as;

a. ppm zinc?

b. ppb zinc?

c. What mass of zinc product would form if the zinc (2+) ions were instead allowed to precipitate as zinc phosphate?

3Zn2+(aq) + 2PO43-(aq)Zn3(PO4)2(s)

Solutions

Expert Solution

The mass of zinc present is calculated:

m Zn = M * V * MM = 0.01 M * 0.02325 L * 65.38 g / mol = 0.015 g

a) The ppm is calculated:

ppm = mg / Kg = 0.015 g Zn / 2.67 g * (1000 mg / 1 g) * (1000 g / 1 Kg) = 5618 ppm

b) The ppb is calculated:

ppb = ppm * 1000 = 5618 * 1000 = 5618000

c) The mass of Zn3 (PO4) 2 formed is calculated:

m Zn3 (PO4) 2 = 0.015 g Zn * (1 mol / 65.38 g) * (1 mol Zn3 (PO4) 2/3 mol Zn) * (386.1 g Zn3 (PO4) 2/1 mol) = 0.030 g

Choose any one plant tissue. Compare and contrast that tissue to animal epithelial tissue. The answer should include the makeup of each, considering structure, function, and interactions (or lack of interactions) between cells; it should also address how different organisms can build different tissue to address similar issues, so choose the tissue carefully.
