Thermometric complexometric titration of metals is often performed with tetrasodium EDTA. This Application Note explains the standardization of tetrasodium EDTA titrant with copper.
Thermometric complexometric titration of metals is often performed with tetrasodium EDTA. Within a basic solution buffered by ammonia/ammonium chloride, the exothermic reaction caused by formation of the metal-amine complex can be monitored to determine the endpoint. The complex formed with the amine is slightly more exothermic than that of the metal-EDTA complex. This Application Note explains the standardization of tetrasodium EDTA titrant with copper.
