    The document describes an experiment to determine the calcium and magnesium content in a water sample using EDTA titration. The sample is first titrated against EDTA using a universal indicator to find the total hardness, then titrated again using a calcium-specific indicator to find just the calcium content, with the difference being the magnesium. The titrations are used to calculate the molarity and hardness of calcium and magnesium ions in the water sample.

    Experiment -1

    Aim- 1. Determine the amount of calcium and magnesium present in the given
    sample of water.

    2. Total hardness of calcium and magnesium ions in the given sample.

    Provided- 0.01M EDTA.

    Theory- The solution is first titrated against EDTA solution using Erichrome black
    T as indicator. This gives the total amount of calcium and magnesium present in
    the sample.

    This solution is again titrated against EDTA solution using calcon as indicator. The
    second titration is conducted in the presence of high concentration of sodium
    hydroxide which precipitate out magnesium as magnesium hydroxide. Thus in the
    second titration only calcium reacts with EDTA solution. This titration gives the
    amount of calcium in the solution. The difference between the first and the second
    titration gives the magnesium content present in water.

    For finding out the total hardness of water the total molarity of calcium and
    magnesium ions in the water.

    Procedure-

    1. Take EDTA solution in the burette.


    2. 2. Pipette out 20ml of the mixture solution in a conical flask. Dilute the
    solution to about 50ml with 20-30ml of distilled water.
    3. Add 5ml Of NH4Cl and NH4OH buffer solution. Add 3 to 4 drops of erio
    chromic Black T indicator and heat the solution to 60 oC
    4. Run EDTA solution from the burette into the titration flask gradually until
    the colour of the solution changes from wine red to pure blue.
    5. Repeat the titratiom till atleast three reading.
    Second titration
    1. Pipette out 20 ml mix sol into a 250ml titration flask. Dilute the sol to
    about 50ml with 20-30ml of distilled water.
    2. Add 3-4ml of 50%sodium hydroxide sol when a white ppt’s of Mg(OH) 2
    appears. shake it.add 2-3 drops of calcon indicator.
    3. Run the EDTA sol from the burette dropwise and with continuous stirring
    of the contents of the titration flask
    4.Continue adding EDTA sol slowly until a blue color appears this is the end
    point.
    5.Repeat the titration until at least three readings.
    Observations and calculations
