Question

50 mL of a solution of  0.0200  M Zn2+ will be titrated with 0.0100 M EDTA in 0.0100 M NH3 at pH 6.0.

Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) can be considered as a tetraprotic acid (H4Y). The stepwise acid dissociation constants are:

K1 = 1.02 x 10-2, K2= 2.14 x 10-3, K3 = 6.92 x 10-7 and

K4 = 5.50 x 10-11.

The alplia value of the un-deprotonated species in a solution buffered to a certain pH is given by the following equation:

a0 = [H+]4/([H+]4 + K1[H+]3 + K1K2[H+]2 + K1 K2K3[H+] + K1 K2K3K4)

Calculate the alpha value of the fully deprotonated species (Y4- ) in a solution buffered to a pH of 6.0.
