Separation of Cations By Andrew Feigley Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to conduct selective analytical techniques including masking and ion exchange. To determine the concentration of Zn, Mg, Na, and H+ in an unknown solution. Purpose: Four different determinations were conducted. The first two were titration use NaOH. The initial titration gave the total concentration of all ions. The second titiration was preformed after passing the unknown through a cation exchange resin to give the concentration of H+. The last two titrations were done by using EDTA in order to determine metal ion concentrations of Mg and Zn. The final titration was done using a masking agent of KCN to give the concentration of Mg.

Part three data was never completed and there were groups that didn’t follow the agreed upon procedures.
