- when the idicator is bad
question
2 types of Interference when titrating with EDTA:
answer

1.) When there is another metal present abd both react w/ EDTA therefore do soemthing so only one is present.

The fraction of the original light that passes through the sample. = P/Po
question
Absorbance
answer
The percent transmittance - log(Po/P)--> -log T
question
