The present work describes a new methodology in analytical chemistry, which makes it possible to calculate the stability constant (equilibrium or formation) of the coordination compounds generated between all metallic cations in the periodic table, except for alkali metals (group 1 ) together with the ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid binder. The system is simple to use, inexpensive, and allows the knowledge of the size of the conditional formation constants for all metals coordinated with the complexing agent to be investigated at any pH value investigated. In addition, the method is also extensive for other binders having the same chemical reaction property as ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid performs with metal ions in the same stoichiometric bonding ratio. For the execution of this study, solutions of copper (II) cation was employed, at a concentration of 1.0x10-2 mol L-1 and the complexing agent, also presenting the same concentration of metal. The assay was conducted in a buffering system consisting of ammonium hydroxide and ammonium chloride salt at a constant pH of 10.0. The method allows its use in experimental procedures developed both in a chemical laboratory and in a classroom, used during the theoretical activities. The chelating agent has a wide spectrum of application in the food product industries, also in the generation of cleaning materials in general, as well as in the photography industry, textile production, paper manufacture and the like, rubbers and the like, polymers and derivatives, among other production lines intended for its manufacture for human consumption.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
