assay of calcium gluconate by complexometric titration
Aim
To determine per cent content of Calcium gluconate in a given sample / To perform the assay of calcium gluconate
Principle
Calcium gluconate can be assayed using complexometric titrations of Ca2+ ions using EDTA as a sequestering (chelating) agent which results in the formation of a relatively stable complex. However, Mordant-Black II which is used as an indicator does not give distinct colour change. Hence, calcium ions are not directly titrated against disodium EDTA. Rather a displacement or replacement type of titration is used or performed wherein, a known volume of 0.05M magnesium sulphate solution is added (5ml) which acts as a displacing agent.
Magnesium ions displace calcium ions from the calcium indicator complex and form a more stable Mg indicator complex. But this complex is less stable than the Mg-EDTA complex. Relative stability of different complexes decreases in following order: Ca-EDTA > Mg-EDTA > Mg-In > Ca-In. Initially when both calcium and magnesium ions are present in the solution and when the indicator is added it forms a complex with Mg as Mg-In is stronger than Ca-In complex and imparts a pink colour to the solution.
When titration commences added EDTA forms a complex with calcium ions as a Ca-EDTA complex is stronger than the Mg-EDTA complex. when all the calcium ions are complexed than free Mg++ forms complex with EDTA and the endpoint is reached then Mg-In complex breaks liberating free Mg+2 and In- which forms complex with EDTA and free In- imparts a blue colour to the solution. The ammonia solution buffers the solution at a pH 10
Standard
Calcium gluconate (mol. wt.: 448.4) contains not less than 98.5% and not more than 102.0% of C12H22CaO14, H2O.
Procedure
Preparation of 0.1M disodium edetate solution
Dissolve ______ g of disodium edetate in sufficient water to produce 1000ml
Standardization of 0.1M disodium edetate solution
- Weigh accurately about 0.8 g of granulated zinc dissolved by gentle warming in 12 ml of dil. Hydrochloric acid and 0.1ml of bromine water.
- Boil to remove excess bromine, cool and add sufficient water to produce 200ml. pipette 20 ml of the resulting solution into a flask and nearly neutralize with 2M sodium hydroxide.
- Dilute to about 150ml with water add sufficient ammonia buffer pH 10.0 to dissolve the precipitate and add 5ml in excess.
- Add 50mg of mordant black II mixture and titrate with the disodium edetate solution until the solution turns green.
Assay of calcium gluconate
Weigh 0.5 g and dissolve in 50 ml of warm water; cool, add 5.0 ml of 0.05 M magnesium sulphate and 10 ml of strong ammonia solution and titrate with 0.05 M disodium edetate using mordant black II mixture as an indicator. Carry out a blank titration.
