Effect of EDTA/NaF solutions on the orion Cu(II) ion-selective electrode.
The titration of ethylenediaminetetra-acetic acid in fluoride medium with Cu(II) solution with the Orion Cu(II) ion-selective electrode as indicator, results (after several titrations) in a broad end-point which is unsatisfactory for exact analytical purposes. This effect has been found to arise from an enhanced rate of response to changes in EDTA concentration when the electrode has been exposed to an EDTA/NaF medium for prolonged periods.
