A researcher reconstituted a vial of 750 mg Cefuroxime Sodium Powder for Injection with 6mL of sterile water for injection. The reconstituted solution was dark amber-colored solution. The package insert states that solution colors range from clear to yellow depending on concentration, diluent, and storage conditions. The researcher was then hesitant to give the patient the solution due to its unusual dark color.
Five portions were taken from a batch of cefuroxime sodium. Prior to testing in the instrument, each part was subjected to one of the following conditions:

- In the titration of 25.00 mL of a water sample, it took 20.840 mL of 4.350x 10−3 M EDTA solution to reach the endpoint. Calculate the number of moles of EDTA required to titrate the water sample. (enter your answer with 3 significant figures) 9.07×10-5 The total hardness is due to one or a combination of Ca2+, Mg2+, and Fe2+ in your sample. It is convenient to express this hardness as though it was entirely due to Ca2+. Making this assumption, determine the number of moles of Ca2+ present in the bottled water sample titrated. (enter your answer with 3 significant figures) he total hardness is always listed in parts-per-million (ppm) of CaCO3 (or mg CaCO3 / Kg H2O). Since the density of water is 1.0 g/mL, one ppm would be the same as the number of mg of CaCO3 per liter of water. Determine the number of moles of CaCO3 present in the titrated sample of water, assuming that all the Ca2+ combines with CO32−.

Calculate the concentration of hydrochloric acid from the Technician's experiment.arrow_forwardComplexometric titrations are generally conducted to determine divalent cations. The most important applications are the titration of calcium and magnesium with EDTA. (a) A supplement tablet containing about 300.00 mg of calcium ion was dissolved, filtered, and diluted to 100.00 ml volume. Several 2.00 ml samples of the total solution were titrated with 0.0100 M EDTA solution. The mean corrected titration volume was 13.65 mL. Calculate the calcium content of the supplement tablet in mg units. (b) A sample of Epsom Salt of mass 0.7567 g was dissolved uniformly in distilled water in a 250.00 mL volumetric flask. Portions of the magnesium ion solution of volume 10.00 mL were titrated using a 0.01000 M solution of EDTA. The mean corrected titration volume was 12.25 ml. Calculate the percentage by mass (% w / w) of the magnesium in the Epsom Salt sample. (c) A 100.00 mL sample of tap water was titrated with 0.0100 M EDTA solution. The mean corrected titration volume was 14.80 mL. Determine…arrow_forward
