Answer:
the concentration of
in the original solution= 0.0088 M
the concentration of
in the original solution = 0.058 M
Explanation:
Given that:
The volume of the sample containing Cd2+ and Mn2+ = 50.0 mL; &
was treated with 64.0 mL of 0.0600 M EDTA
Titration of the excess unreacted EDTA required 16.1 mL of 0.0310 M Ca2+
i.e the strength of the Ca2+ = 0.0310 M
Titration of the newly freed EDTA required 14.2 mL of 0.0310 M Ca2+
To determine the concentrations of Cd2+ and Mn2+ in the original solution; we have the following :
Volume of newly freed EDTA = 
= 
= 7.3367 mL
concentration of
= 
= 
= 0.0088 M
Thus the concentration of
in the original solution = 0.0088 M
Volume of excess unreacted EDTA = 
= 
= 8.318 mL
Volume of EDTA required for sample containing
and
= (64.0 - 8.318) mL
= 55.682 mL
Volume of EDTA required for
= Volume of EDTA required for
sample containing
and
-- Volume of newly freed EDTA
Volume of EDTA required for
= 55.682 - 7.3367
= 48.3453 mL
Concentration of
= 
Concentration of
= 
Concentration of
in the original solution= 0.058 M
Thus the concentration of
= 0.058 M
