The sulfate ion concentration from the unknown is calculated as follows:
Vt Mt
MSO
4
-2
=
⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯
VSO
4
-2
where:
MSO
4
-2
= concentration of sulfate ion in the unknown (moles/liter)
Vt
= volume of lead added at endpoint
Mt
= lead concentration (moles/liter)
VSO
4
-2
= volume of unknown sample (50 ml)
