A 0.5745 g sample of an alloy containing principally bismuth and lead is dissolved in nitric acid and diluted to 250.0 mL in a volumetric flask. A 50.00 mL aliquot is withdrawn, the pH adjusted to 1.5, and the bismuth titrated with 30.26 mL of 0.01024 M EDTA. The pH of the solution is then increased to 5.0 and the lead titrated with 20.42 mL of the same EDTA solution. Calculate the percentages of lead and bismuth in the alloy.
