Chapter 13, Problem 13.17P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The meaning of ${\alpha }_{{\gamma }^{4-}}$ has to be determined in words. Also, the value of ${\alpha }_{{\gamma }^{4-}}$ for EDTA at $\text{pH}$ of 3.50 has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

EDTA or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid is used for titration of majority of metals with help of formation of strong metal complexes in the ratio of $1:1$. It is utilized to bind metals, most commonly used in industrial processes. It is also used for prevention of food oxidation and in environmental chemistry.
