Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The formation constant and the difference in molar absorptivities at 470 nm should be determined using linear regression and the Benesi-Hildebrand equation.
Concept introduction:
The Benesi-Hildebrand equation is:
b − length of the solution light passes through
ΔA − difference between absorbance with and without the ligand present
Δe − difference of the molar absorptivities of complex and metal ion.
Kf − formation constant
CM − concentration of metal ion
CL − concentration of ligand.
(b)
Interpretation:
The values of Kf and Δe should be determined using non-linear regression.
Concept introduction:
b − length of the solution light passes through
ΔA − difference between absorbance with and without the ligand present
Δe − difference of the molar absorptivities of complex and metal ion.
Kf − formation constant
CM − concentration of metal ion
CL − concentration of ligand.

- Mixing the chelating reagent B with Ni(II) forms the highly colored NiB22+, whose solutions obey Beer’s lawat 395 nm overa wide range. Provided the analytical concentration of the chelating reagent exceeds that of Ni(II) by a factor of 5 (or more), the cation exists, within the limits of observation, entirely in the form of the complex.
