During the EDTA method, a pH of 9 to 10 is maintained using a buffer solution, typically composed of ammonia and ammonium chloride or a similar buffer system. This alkaline pH is crucial as it enhances the solubility of metal ions and promotes the formation of stable EDTA complexes, ensuring accurate titration results. By controlling the pH within this range, the reaction efficiency is maximized, leading to more precise measurements of metal concentrations.
Buffer maintains the pH of the solution through out the reaction. To maintain high alkaline medium ammonia buffer is added to EDTA in analysis of hard water. 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.
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.
during the complexometric titration using edta it is very necessary to maintain the ph of the solution near about 10 so we use ammonium chloride buffer if we will not use this buffer dring the titration ph of sol. will ho lower side

You will be using the disodium salt of EDTA (M.W. = 372.24 g/mole). It has been dried for 1day at 80°C to drive off any superficial moisture. Transfer it in desiccator for an hour.Weigh carefully about 1.95 g of EDTA (record tothe nearest 0.1 mg). Quantitatively transfer this into a 500 mL volumetric flask then add 2-3 mLof pH 10 ammonia buffer. Fill the flask about halfway to the mark with deionized water andswirl to dissolve. This process can take up to 15 minutes. Once dissolved, dilute to the markand then cap and invert the flask at least 6 times to get a uniform solution. Keep the solutioncapped.This solution is about 0.01M but for an exact value you need Standardization of this solution with Calcium Carbonate standard solution.

increase the volume of 250 microliter (from 2 molar sulotion) to 10 ml
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.
0.1M is 1/10 molar whereas 1mM is 1 millimolar and thus 1/1000 molar. There is thus a 1:100 dilution. So 10:1000 would be the same. To a 1000ml volumetric flask, pipete 10mls of 0.1M EDTA solution. Make up to the mark with deionized water. Mix and shake and you will have 1000mls of 1mM EDTA solution.
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

EDTA forms more stable complexes with calcium than with magnesium. This is due to the higher charge density and smaller size of the calcium ion, which allows it to form stronger bonds with the EDTA molecule.

in order to titrate a sample of solution, lets take an example. If we have a solution of 1.569 mg of Coso4, which has a (155.0g/mol ratio) per mill. A question may ask us to find the volume of Edta needed of titrate an aliqout of this solution. So lets take a random number of 0.007840 M EDTA and be asked to titrate A 25.00ML Aliqout of this solution. How do we find the volume of EDTA needed.....? well first we use the numbers given, 1.569 mg CoSo4/ ml x (1g/1000mg)(1molcoso4/155.0g)(1molEDTA/1mol CoSo4) calculating this out should give 1.012 x 10 ^-5 mol of EDTA per ml. we then multuply the moles of EDTA which react with 1.569 ml of COso4 by 25.00 ml 1.012x10^-5 mol edta (25.00ml)= 2.531 x 10^-4 mol of edta. This is the amount of moles in the new solution. Now we need to find the amount of moles per liter of the specific concentration of EDTA. so we multiply 2.531x10^-4 mol edta x (1L/0.007840 mol) to give 0.03228 Liters of 32.28 ml .
A pH of 10 is maintained in complexometric titrations because it ensures the stability of metal-ligand complexes. At this pH, the metal ion forms stable complexes with the titrant (EDTA) while minimizing interference from other ions. Additionally, a pH of 10 helps to maintain appropriate solubility of the metal-ligand complexes for accurate endpoint detection.
