Abstract

Direct photometric titration (without an added indicator) using a standard ammoniacal solution of copper(II) prepared from pure copper metal asa primary standard is recommended as a reliable method for the standardization of Na2H2(edta) in 10-3 -5 . 10-4M solutions. The technique of photometric microtitration (720 nm, 50 mm cell) with an increased precision of transmittance reading (s ~10-2%, n > 7) and in optimum medium of pH 4.7 ± 0.4 (acetate buffer) can yield precise results in assays of EDTA (sr ⪬ 10-1%, n = 6-9).
