A 1.509-g sample of a Pb/Cd alloy was dissolved in acid and diluted to exactly 250.0 mL in
a volumetric flask. A 50.00-mL aliquot of the diluted solution was brought to a pH of 10.0 with a
NH3+?NH3 buffer; the subsequent titration involved both cations and required 28.89 mL of 0.06990 M
EDTA. A second 50.00-mL aliquot was brought to a pH of 10.0 with an HCN/NaCN buffer, which also
served to mask the Cd²+; 11.56 mL of the EDTA solution were needed to titrate the Pb²“. Calculate
the percent Pb and Cd in the sample.
