And Answers.
Chemical Formulas - Answer Represent a compound
Molecular Formulas - Answer Shows the actual numbers and kinds of atoms in one molecule
Empirical Formula - Answer Shows the smallest, whole number ratio of atoms to one molecule
Determining the empirical formula of Zinc Chloride - Answer Dissolve a known mass of Zinc
Chloride in a measured volume of water, then determine the zinc content of the resulting
solution by titration
Titration - Answer Measuring the the volume of a standardized (known concentration)
solution required to completely react with a target substance in the solution being analyzed
End Point/Equivalence Point - Answer An added indicator to the titration mixture, where the
the indicator changes color when the exact volume of standardized solution needed to
completely react with the sample has been added
Equivalence Point - Answer When the number of moles of EDTA added exactly equals the
number of moles of Zn2+ originally present
Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) - Answer Reacts with may metal ions to produce
stable metal-EDTA complexes, but for a particular metal ion to complex with EDTA depends on
the pH of the reaction solution; solution pHs of 10 or greater are required in order for EDTA to
complex with calcium, magnesium, and zinc ions in water, particularly when Eriochrome Black T
(EBT) is the indeicator
Reaction of EDTA with Zn2+ - Answer Zn2+ (aq) + EDTA4- (aq) → [ZnEDTA]2- (aq)
Eriochrome Black T (EBT) - Answer Red in zinc solutions containing Zn2+ that is not complexed
with EDTA; at the equivalence point, EBT turns blue marking the end point
