Question

To determine the concentration of an EDTA solution, 4.11 g of Zn metal was used. The volume of EDTA solution needed to reach the endpoint was 28.26 mL. What was the concentration (in molarity) of the EDTA solution?

Answer 1

2.23M

Step-by-step explanation:

Molarity of a solution is calculated thus

Molarity = number of moles (n) ÷ volume (V)

According to this question, 4.11g of Zn metal was used in order to reach a volume of EDTA solution of 28.26 mL.

28.26mL = 28.26/1000

= 0.02826L

Using mole = mass/molar mass to calculate no. of moles of Zn

Mole = 4.11/65.4

mole = 0.0628mol

Molarity = 0.0628 ÷ 0.02826

Molarity = 2.23M

The concentration of the EDTA solution used is 2.23M
