Abstract:  The colour changes of methylxylenol blue in the chelatometric titrations of Cd , Ce³⁺, Co²⁺, Cu²⁺, Er³⁺, Hg²⁺, La³⁺, Mn²⁺, Pb2+, Sc³⁺, Sm³⁺, and Zn²⁺ were studied spectrophotometrically. The absorption spectra of the titrated solutions were used for. the calculation of the course of colour change curves in the colorimetric CIE—xy triangle and the complementary Q_xQ_y diagram. On the basis of this objective valuation the accuracy of visual titrimetric determinations was characterized by the indices of perceptibility of the colour change of methylxylenol blue at the end-point (Δv/ΔE)_α→1.
