    The document describes an experiment to remove hardness from water using ion exchange resin. Cation exchange resin is used to remove calcium and magnesium ions from hard water by exchanging them for hydrogen ions. The water flowing from the cation exchange column is then titrated with EDTA to determine the amount of calcium ions removed. The procedure involves passing 10mL of hard water through an ion exchange column, titrating the effluent with EDTA using an indicator, and repeating the process twice. The average titration volume is used to calculate the hardness as 1110 ppm.

    Removal of Hardness of water

    Aim – To remove Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions from hard water using ion
    exchange resin.

    Reagent used – EDTA, Eriochrome Black T(EBT) indicator, Ammonia


    buffer (NH4Cl+NH4OH).

    Theory – In this experiment, an ion-exchange resin will be used. An ion-


    exchange resin consist of beads of an qrganic polymer. On the surface
    of the beads, there are functional groups capable of removing ions
    from solution and replacing them with ions of like charge from the
    resin. If the resin exchange cations with the solution, it is a cation-
    exchange resin; if it exchange anions,it is an anion-exchange resin.

    Some example of the reactive group of the reactive group of ion-


    exchange resin are:

    Uncharged form charged form


     The carboxylic acid group cation
    exchange

     The sulfonic acid group: cation exchange

     The amine group anion exchange

    The hard water is passed first through cation exchange column, which
    removes all the anions like Ca2+,Mg2+,etc. from it and equivalent
    amount of H+ ions are release from this column to water.

    Thus;

    After cation exchange column, the hard water is passed through anion
    exchange column, which removes all the anions like SO42-,Cl-,etc.
    Present In the water and equilavent amount of OH - ions are released
    from this column to water. Thus:

    H+ and OH- ions(released from cation exchange and anion exchange


    columns respectively) get combined to produced water molecule.

    In this experiment, hard water solution will be passed through a cation-


    exchange resin. The calcium and Magensium ions in the solution will
    exchange with a stoichiometric flowing off the column, will be titrated
    with a solution of standard EDTA. This titration estimates the amount of
    calcium ions removed from the hard water.

    Procedure

     Pipette out 10mL of hard water into a conical flask.


     Pass hard water over Amberlite IR 120 ion exchange column slowly
    and collect drops in conical flask.
     Add 5 mL of buffer solution and few drops of EBT indicator.
     Titrate with 0.01M EDTA solution taken in the burette, till the wine
    red color changes to blue, which is the end point. Note down the
    burette reading(V1 mL).
     Remember, titrate the solution until the last trace of red color
    dissapearss upon addition of just a fraction of a drop od EDTA. The
    final color changes should be from a violet color to a pale blue. The
    changes be fairly sharp.
     Repeat steps a-c twice.
    Tabulate all the data.

    Observation

    Sl. No Volume of Burette Reading Volume of


    hard water EDTA (v1
    sample Initial final mL)
    1 10 0.0 11.5 11.1
    2 10 0.0 11.1 11.1
    3 10 0.0 11.1 11.1

    Calculation and result

    Hardness of water – 1110 ppm


    Hardness of water that is 1110 ppm is removed.
