Reactions For Complexometric Titration
In theory, any complexation reaction can be used as a volumetric technique provided that:
- the reaction reaches equilibrium rapidly after each portion of titrant is added.
- interfering situations do not arise. For instance, the stepwise formation of several different complexes of the metal ion with the titrant, resulting in the presence of more than one complex in solution during the titration process.
- a complexometric indicator capable of locating equivalence point with fair accuracy is available.
In practice, the use of EDTA as a titrant is well established...

Famous quotes containing the word reactions:
“Separation anxiety is normal part of development, but individual reactions are partly explained by experience, that is, by how frequently children have been left in the care of others.... A mother who is never apart from her young child may be saying to him or her subliminally: “You are only safe when I’m with you.””
