monodentate ligand
binds to a metal ion through only one site
chelate
ligand which binds a metal w/ at least 2 sites & forms a cyclic structure
EDTA
important chelating agent; 1:1 ratios
direct titrations
titrant added to metal ion solution until endpoint is reached & color change is observed
back titration
known excess of EDTA added to metal ion analyte; after reaction, remaining EDTA titrated with 2nd metal ion in a diff. reaction
indirect titration
EDTA titrant is used with and intermediary that has a known relationship w/ the analyte of interest
endpoint
point in titration at which there is a sudden change in a physical property (color, pH, conductivity, or absorbance); used as a measure of equivalence pt
solubility equilibria
equilibrium b/w solid & its dissolved constituents
solubility
max amt of solid that will dissolve in 1 L of pure water at 25°
saturated
when solution contains max amt of dissolved solution
Le Chatelier's Principle
If a system at equilibrium is disturbed, the direction in which it proceeds back to equilibrium is such that the disturbance is partly offset
gravimetric analysis
mass of a product determines quantity of analyte; dependent on precipitation
classical/wet chemical analysis
gravimetric & volumetric; tedious, slow, more accurate
volumetric analysis
volume of reagent needed to react with analytes determines amount of analyte
instrumental analysis

voltaic cell
use chemical reactivity to generate electrical energy; spontaneous e- flow (i.e. battery); anode -, cathode +
electrolytic cell
use electrical energy to drive chemical reaction; not spontaneous (i.e. charger); anode +, cathode -
cathode
