Question: Jack makes a solution by adding 2 . 5 times 1 0 6 moles of cadmium ( Cd 2 + ) and 1

Jack makes a solution by adding 2.5\times 106 moles of cadmium (Cd2+) and 1\times 103
moles of EDTA to 1 L of water, waits 5 minutes, and then drinks it. He claims that he
if waits that long, the complex concentrations reach equilibrium values, and under
these conditions, the remaining free Cd2+ is nontoxic. You take your pH probe and
determine that [H+]=107.5 in the solution. Given the following information,
determine the free [Cd2+] in the solution that Jack drinks. You may ignore the
protonated forms of EDTA4. What is the concentration of free Cd2+ when the
solution reaches his stomach (pH =1)?
Cd2++ H2O = CdOH++ H+ Cd2++2H2O = CdOH2+2H+ Cd2++3H2O = CdOH3-+3H+ Cd2++4H2O = CdOH42-+4H+ Cd2++ EDTA4-= Cd-EDTA2-
*b1=10-10.08*b2=10-20.35*b3=10-33.30*b4=10-47.35
b1=103.9
