MW: 416.20 gram/mole)
Volume needed : 1 L
EDTA (sodium form) : 208.1 g
Measure out approxamately 700 ml of DDW (a one liter beaker could be found in the glassware cabinet). Put in a stir bar and start stirring. Weigh out 208.1 g of EDTA (sodium form)and add it to the water.
Let it stir for a while until the solid dissolved, and then adjust pH to 8.0 by titrating it with concentrated HCl.
Add enough DDW to bring the volume up to 1 L. Bottle it in a 1L bottle (found in the glassware cabinet).
Cover the top with foil and put a piece of autoclave tape with the room number on it. Send it to the kitchen to be autoclaved.
Store the EDTA solution on the shelves over the electrophoresis area.
To prepare 100mM EDTA solution, dissolve 37.2g of EDTA disodium salt dihydrate in 1 liter of water. Make sure the pH is adjusted to around 8.0 with sodium hydroxide or hydrochloric acid if needed. Mix well until EDTA is fully dissolved.
Yes, EDTA is water-soluble. To prepare a solution, you can simply add the desired amount of EDTA powder to water and stir until it is completely dissolved. If you encounter issues with solubility, you can adjust the pH of the solution using sodium hydroxide or hydrochloric acid to help dissolve the EDTA.
The pH of the medium is important in EDTA titration because the formation of the metal-EDTA complex depends on the pH. At certain pH levels, the metal-EDTA complex formation is optimized, leading to accurate results. Deviations from the optimal pH can affect the stability of the complex and lead to incorrect titration results.
A pH 10 buffer is used in EDTA titrations to ensure that the reaction occurs at a consistent pH that is optimal for the formation of metal-EDTA complexes. The indicator paper is not added to the solution because the color change of the metal-EDTA complex is independent of pH and will occur naturally when all the metal ions are chelated by the EDTA.
Buffers are added in EDTA titrations to maintain a constant pH of the solution. This is important because the formation of metal-EDTA complexes, which is critical in EDTA titrations, often requires a specific pH range to ensure accurate and precise results. Buffers help prevent pH changes due to addition of EDTA or metal ions, ensuring the reaction occurs under stable conditions.

Phenolphthalein is not suitable for use in EDTA titration because it changes color at a pH range that is much lower than the pH range at which the EDTA-metal complex formation occurs. EDTA titration typically requires indicators that change color in a more acidic pH range.
To prepare 0.1 Molar EDTA solution, dissolve 37.2 g of EDTA disodium salt dihydrate in 1 liter of distilled water. Adjust the pH to around 8 using NaOH pellets. Finally, adjust the final volume by adding more distilled water if needed.
A pH 10 buffer is used in EDTA titration because it ensures that the metal ions being titrated remain in their complexed form with EDTA, which has higher stability at alkaline pH. This helps in achieving accurate and precise results in the titration process.
EDTA titrations should be carried out in pH buffered solutions to maintain a constant pH during the titration process. This is crucial because the effectiveness of EDTA as a chelating agent depends on the pH of the solution. In acidic conditions, EDTA binds to metal ions that are more soluble, while in alkaline conditions, it binds to less soluble metal ions. Buffer solutions help keep the pH constant so that the EDTA can accurately complex with the metal ions present.
It is necessary to keep the pH at about 10 for two reasons: (a) all reactions between metal ions and EDTA are pH dependent, and for divalent ions, solutions must be kept basic (and buffered) for the reaction to go to completion; (b) the eriochrome black T indicator requires a pH of 8 to 10 for the desired color change.
Many metal ions (eg. Ca and Mg) only react completely when EDTA is in pure anionic form (EDTA)4- anion. Since it is a quadruple acid this can only be realized at pH value above 10 for Ca2+ ions, for Mg2+ even higher: >12
