5A. A pharmaceutical drug A was quantified by pulse voltammetry; it had an E12 value5A. A pharmaceutical drug A was quantified by pulse voltammetry; it had an E12 value
of -0.265V(vs. SCE) in 0.5MH2SO4. A 50.0-mL sample containing A gave a wave
amplitude of 0.37A. When 2.00mL of 3.00mM in 0.5MH2SO4 were added to the
sample, the wave amplitude increased to 0.80A.
Compute the molarity of A in the unknown.
Nezhadali and Sharifi (Engineering,2010,2,1026-1030) have reported complex
formation data on four different cations, M2+(M=Ni,Cu,Zn,Pb) with o-
phenylenediamine as ligand in DMF/water mixtures containing KNO3 as supporting
electrolyte. The figure below (Figure 1) presents SWP data for the Zn2+ case using a
HMDE; curves are shown both in the absence and presence of the ligand.

(i) Use the grid to work up these data as needed, to compute: (a) The combining ratio of
complexing agent to cation, p; and (b) The complex formation constant, Kf. Show all
subsequent calculations neatly and clearly.
(ii) Judging from the data trends in Figure 1, what can you conclude about the relative
thermodynamic stability of the complex vs. the un-complexed metal ions? Support
you answer with a sentence of rationalization.

(iii) I read from the above paper under the Experimental Section that the SWP frequency
was 50Hz and the potential scan rate was 250mVs. What would have been the staircase
shift used in these experiments?
