Difference in the total ammonia concentration and the Zinc concentration

For a pH 10 buffer containing ammonia (pKb=4.756) and ammonium at total concentration of 1.0 M, calculate the fraction of Zn2+ in the un-complexed form ([Zn2+]). 
Assume that the Zn concentration is 0.00100 M calculate the pZn2+ at 2, 4, 5, 8, 9.9, 10, 10.5 mL when 100 mL of this zinc solution is titrated with a standardized 0.0100M EDTA solution. (2, 5, 8, 9.9, 10, 10.5 mL). Hint: There is a large difference in the total ammonia concentration and the Zinc concentration so make a sensible approximation
