| Types of Indirect Titrations | 
| - Back - Displacement | 
| Direct | 
| Where the analyte reacts with EDTA if it's at the right pH ( Zn2+, Mn 2+, cA 2+, Mg 2+) | 
| Back Titration | 
| Where you react metal (analyte) with excess EDTA in the flask. Put mpre EDTA in than what was needed. Titrate EDTA that is left with a standard metal solution (Zn 2+) | 
| When is a Back Titration used? | 
| - slow rxn - not a good indicator -analyte ppts. w/o EDTA w/ OH- | 
| Displacement |

| When is displacement used? 
 | 
| - when the idicator is bad | 
| 2 types of Interference when titrating with EDTA: | 
| 1.) When there is another metal present abd both react w/ EDTA therefore do soemthing so only one is present. 2.) Metal binds tightly to indicator--> "metal blocks the indicator" | 
| Metals that block Eriochrome Black T: | 
| FE 3+, Al 3 +, Cr 3+, Co 2+, Ni 2+ |

| When masking for Al 3+ what is used? | 
| 2N(C2H4OH)2- triethenolamine | 
| Transmittance (T) | 
| The fraction of the original light that passes through the sample. = P/Po | 
| Absorbance | 
| The percent transmittance - log(Po/P)--> -log T | 
| Pathway of measuring the Light Theory | 
| Absorbtion (UV or VIS)--> wavelength selector--> Sample-->Detector--> Readout | 
| Phosphorescence | 
| emissions of light transmitted from triplet state to ground state | 
| Flouresence | 
| emissions of light transmitted from S1 to ground state. (shorter time to reach ground) | 
| Factors that influence Absorbance | 
| 1.) Temperature 2.) pH of solution 3.) Solvent system 4.) Electrolyte concentration | 
| Ways in which light can deviate from Beer's Law and their corrections: | 
| - Too concentrated of solution Correction--> dilute sample - Chemiscal Reaction Correction--> Choose one w/o chem. rxns - Instrumental- stray light Correction--> use middle region or wavelength are |
