• A ligand is a molecule (or ion) which possesses at
least one position atwhich itcan attach itselfto a metalion. 3 Complex)formation • Monodentate (unidentat ) e : ligand binds to a metal
ionthroughonly oneatom(onetoothedligand).
– Ex. CN- isa monodentateasitbindsto themetal throughonlytheC atom. 4 Complex)formation
• Multidentate: ligandattachestoa metalionthrough

• Useful indicators must bind metal less strongly than EDTA does. 26

Complexometrictitration)with)EDTA
• Application: Using complexometric titration with EDTA to
determinetheconcentrationofCa2+andMg2+ presentintap water.
• A watersupplyisconsideredhardwhentheamountofCa+2,
Mg+2, and/orFe+3 ionsbecomestoohighforitsintendeduse.
Softwaterdoesnotcontainanysignificantamountsofthese ions.
• It isnot necessary to measure each ion contributingtothe
water hardness separately. Instead, all hard water ions are
determined collectively and reported as an "apparent
hardness" assumingthatallofthehardness isderivedfrom CaCO3. 28
