WATER HARDNESS TESTING

TOTAL HARDNESS OF WATER

IN CONICAL FLASK

50 ml H2O ( Water Sample ) + 10 Drops Buffer Solution (pH = 10) + 3 -

4 drops E.B.T ( Eriochrome Black T Indicator)

IN BURETTE

0.01M E.D.T.A Standard Solution

TITRATION

Titrate and note reading at End Point.

END POINT

Violet to Blue,

Violet color Titrate with E.D.T.A till blue color reached.

CALCULATION

Total Water hardness = Burrette Reading X 20 = --------- ppm

SOLUTION PREPARATION

E.D.T.A 0.01 M
4 g E D T A + 0.86 g NaOH (Sodium Hydroxide) IN 1000 ml D /
H2O

BUFFER SOLUTION pH = 10
67.500 g NH4Cl (Ammonium Chloride) + 570 ml NH3 (Ammonia) +
D / H2O (Distilled Water) to make up 1000 ml.

ERIOCHROME BLACK T INDICATOR

0.5 g E. B. T Indicator + 150 ml C2H5OH (Ethanol) + 150 ml D /
H2O (Distilled Water) PREPARED BY:CHEM. MUHAMMAD YOUNUS
