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:
“In this Journal, my pen is a delicate needle point, tracing out a graph of temperament so as to show its daily fluctuations: grave and gay, up and down, lamentation and revelry, self-love and self-disgust. You get here all my thoughts and opinions, always irresponsible and often contradictory or mutually exclusive, all my moods and vapours, all the varying reactions to environment of this jelly which is I.”
—W.N.P. Barbellion (1889–1919)
