Masking of Cu2+ can be achieved by reduction to Cu+. A 25.00 mL aliquot of a solution containing Cu2+ and Ni2+ was treated with ascorbic acid at pH 3.0 to reduce the Cu2+ ions. The pH was adjusted to 10.0 and 27.32 mL of 0.0565 M EDTA was required to reach a murexide end point. In a parallel titration, 40.45 mL of 0.0565 M EDTA was required to reach the murexide end point in a 25.00 mL aliquot that was not treated with ascorbic acid. What amounts of copper and nickel in ppt (mass/vol.) were in the original solution?
