EDTA is Ethylene Diamine Tetra Acetic Acid
Complexometric titration:
A titration based on complex formation is called complexometric titration

 Six binding sites


 4 H on carboxylic acid group (H’s are
removed, so –COO-)
 2 lone pairs of electrons on nitrogens
 The most common complexometric titrant
 Normally used as a salt
 It is a primary standard also used as a
chelating agent
 EDTA is a hexaprotic system H6Y2+ with 4
carboxylic acid and two ammonium Structure of EDTA
COMPLEX TITRATION
WITH EDTA:
EDTA forms an octahedral
complex with most 2+
metal cations in aqueous
solution. The main reason
that EDTA is used
extensively in  EDTA, ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid, has four
standardization of metal carboxyl group and has two amine groups that act
cations solutions is that the
as electron pair donors, or lewis bases. The ability
formation constant for
most metal cation-EDTA of EDTA to potentially donate it’s six lone pairs of
complexes is very high electrons for the formation of coordinate covalent
means that the equilibrium bonds or metal cations make EDTA a hexadentate
for the reaction lies far to ligand. However in practice EDTA is usually only
the right partially ionized , and thus forming fewer then six
M2+ + H4Y → MH2Y + 2H coordinate covalent bonds with metal cations
Carrying out the reaction in
a basic buffer solution
removes H+ as it is formed,
which also favors the
formation of EDTA-metal
cation complex reaction
product
CLASSIFICATION OF EDTA TITRATION
1. DIRECT TITRATION

 This is the direct determination of a metal ion by adding standard EDTA titrant to the sample
solution

+ 
Metal ion EDTA Metal-EDTA complex

 The solution containing the metal ion is buffered to the desired pH and titrated directly
with standard EDTA solution
 Copper, barium, zinc, nickel, etc. are metals that can be determined by using direct
titration method
2. BACK TITRATION
 In this method, an excess amount of standard solution of EDTA is added to the
sample solution of metal ion
 The resulting solution will contain unreacted EDTA which is then back titrated with
standard metal ion solution in the presence of indicator
 ZnCL2, ZnSO4, MgCL2, MgSO4 are used as standard metal ion solution
 Al+3, Co+2, Pb+2, Mn+2, Hg+2 and Ni+2 can be determined by this method

3. REPLACEMENT TITRATION
 This occurs when direct titration or back titration fails to provide sharp endpoints
 This type of titration involves the displacement of a metal ion from a complex by a
stronger chelating agent
 An excess of the added metal ion is then titrated with a solution of another chelating
agent of known concentration to determine the amount of the added metal ion
 This method is useful for the determination of ca2+ ion
4. INDIRECT TITRATION
 In the indirect titration method, anions are precipitated as their insoluble salts
with excess metal ions. The filtrate containing the excess metal ions is directly
titrated with standard EDTA until the endpoint is achieved
 It can be used for the determination of ba2+ ions

5. ALKALIMETRIC TITRATION

 This titration method is similar to acid–base titration


 During the titration, disodium EDTA is added to a metal ion solution, forming the
metal–EDTA complex
 This process involves the liberation of two equivalents of hydrogen ions in the
solution, which is titrated using a base such as standard sodium hydroxide in the
presence of appropriate acid–base indicator until the end-point concentration is
obtained
TITRATION CURVE
The equivalence point of the EDTA titration curve
The equivalence point of a titration is the point where all the analyte moles present in
the solution have reacted with the titrant. In EDTA titration, the equivalence point is
where all the metal ions have complexed with EDTA. At this point, the moles of added
EDTA are equal to the moles of metal ions present in the solution.

The region before the equivalence point


When EDTA is added to the solution, EDTA starts to complex with the metal ions. In
this region, there is an excess of metal ions. Therefore, pM value is very low. (pM= -
log[Mn+]). Added EDTA is not sufficient to complex with all metal ions present in the
solution. In this region even if some amount of the complex has formed, the
dissociation of the complex is negligible.

The region after the equivalence point


In this region, there is an excess of EDTA. After the equivalence point is passed, we
consider that all the metal ions have reacted with EDTA. The concentration of the
complex is high. Thus, we can consider that the solution is made out by dissolving
the complex. There are some free metal ions from the dissociation of the complex.
Indicators for EDTA Titration

 Note that like acid-base indicators, these metal ion indicators’


colors vary with pH
APPLICATIONS
1. IN LABS
 EDTA titrations are routinely used in labs to determine the hardness of water
by forming stable complexes with ions present in water (usually calcium and
magnesium)

2. FOOD INDUSTRY
 It is used as a stabilizing agent in food industry
 EDTA deactivates enzymes (that contain metal) responsible for food spoilage
by removing the metal ions from them and forming stable chelates with them

3. MEDICINAL PURPOSE
 It is used to treat acute and chronic lead poisoning by pulling toxins (including
heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, and mercury) from the bloodstream
 EDTA is used in dentistry as a chelating agent for smear layer removal from
root canal walls
