The next 7 questions are related to the titration of 60.0 mL of a 0.0250 M Zn2+ solution with 0.0600 M EDTA in a solution buffered at pH 9. Assume that the temperature is 25 oC and that the formation constant for Zn2+ is 3.13 x 1016 at this temperature. How many mmols of Zn2+ are present in the solution before the titration begins? What volume of the EDTA solution is needed to reach the equivalence point? What is the conditional formation constant for Zn at this pH? What is the pZn of the analyte solution before the titration begins? What is the pZn of the solution after 15 mL of titrant have been added? What is the pZn at the equivalence point of the titration? What is the pZn of the solution after 30 mL of titrant have been added?

Copper is added to steel in amounts greater than 0.2% but less than 1.5% as it strengthens, hardens and reduces corrosion of the product. The amount of copper in a steel product is determined by digesting the steel product with strong acid, converting all copper species to the Cu+1 ion, complexing the Cu+1 ion to form a light absorbing species by reaction with neocuproine, and extracting the coloured complex with isoamyl alcohol for analysis by UV/VIS spectrophotometry at the 454 nm absorbance wavelength. A 0.2108 g sample of a standard steel sample containing 0.42% of copper was analysed by the above process and a final 10.00 mL volume of the isoamyl extract was obtained. The copper complex of this solution gave an absorbance of 0.481 using a 1.00 cm cuvette. A 0.2892 g sample of a steel product that was being manufactured was analysed as above using the same procedure and equipment and a final 10.00 mL volume of the isoamyl extract was obtained. The copper complex of this solution gave an absorbance of 0.632 using a 1.00 cm cuvette. A blank solution carried through the same procedure gave an absorbance of 0.038. What is the percentage of copper in the manufactured steel product? Is the copper in this steel product within the specified range given above. Note. You have to take into consideration the absorbance of the blank solution to solve the problem.

A certain weak acid, HA, with a Ka value of 5.61×10−6, is titrated with NaOH.

A solution is made by titrating 8.00 mmol (millimoles) of HA and 1.00 mmol of the strong base. What is the resulting pH?

More strong base is added until the equivalence point is reached. What is the pH of this solution at the equivalence point if the total volume is 46.0 mL ?

No idea how to do this! Please explain..thanks!
