1. Five drops of dichlorofluorescein have been added to a solution containing 0.
800 g
sample which required 25.30 mL of 0.100 M AgNO3.
a. Identify the type of argentometric titration method used.
The argentometric titration method used is the Fajan's method.
b. Identify the indicator and endpoint color.
The indicator is the dichlorofluorescein and the endpoint color is yellow.
c. Calculate the weight percent NaCl in the original sample.
Given:
(a) 0.800 g sample (c) Na = 22.989

2. A 100.0 mL sample of drinking water was treated with ammonia buffer and after addition
of Eriochrome Black T indicator, required 18.0mL of 0.00559M EDTA for titration.
a. Identify the role of ammonia buffer in the analysis.
The ammonia buffer's role in the analysis is to avoid unnecessary precipitation
during the process of titration.
b. Identify the indicator and endpoint color.
The indicator is the Eriochrome Black T, and the endpoint color is from red to
blue, which is pink.
c. Calculate the total hardness of the water sample as ppm CaCO3.
Given:
(a) 100.0 mL sample of drinking (b) 18.0mL of 0.00559M EDTA

3. A 20.0mL sample of commercial bleach was diluted with water to a 250.0mL volumetric
flask. A 50.0 mL aliquot of the diluted sample was treated with excess KI and starch. The
liberated iodine was titrated with 0.399M Na2S2O3, requiring 13.9 mL to reach the end
point.
a. Identify the type of redox titration method used.
The type of redox titration method that has been used is a Iodimetry.
b. Identify the indicator and endpoint color.
The indicator is the starch, and the endpoint color is light blue.
c. Calculate the % w/v NaOCl in the sample.
Given:
