Chapter 19, Problem 19.143P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Final concentration of ${\text{Pb}}^{\text{2+}}$ in $\text{μg/ml}$ is to be calculated after the addition of $\text{100}\text{ml}\text{0}\text{.10}\text{M}$${\text{Na}}_{\text{2}}\text{Ca(EDTA)}$ is added to blood sample having $120\text{μg/100ml}$, assuming the exchange reaction and excretion process are $100\%$ efficient.

Concept Introduction:

Exchange reaction:

Exchange reaction occurs between the compounds that appear to involve in the exchange of the parts of part of the two reactants when they are written in molecular equation form. This type of reaction occurs when ions in the solution form insoluble products, weak electrolyte or nonelectrolyte.
