ACTIVITY 10
A. Preparation of 0.01M EDTA Solution
Weigh accurately 0.9306 g disodium salt EDTA, C10H14N2Na2O8.2H20 (MW: 372.24g/mol) and 0.025 g MgCl2.6H20 into a clean 100ml beaker.
Dissolve the solids in water, transfer the solution to a clean 250ml volumetric flask and dilute to the final volume of the flask.
Mix the solution thoroughly and label the solution.
B. Determination of Total Hardness in Water
Obtain the water to be analyzed from the instructor. Measure 50-mL and transfer into each of three 250-mL Erlenmeyer flasks. Then to the first sample, add 1.0 ml of the buffer solution and 5 drops of the Eriochrome Black T Indicator solution.
Titrate the solution with the prepared 0.01M EDTA solution to a color change of wine -red to pure blue. And record the volume of EDTA solution consumed in reaching the end point of the titration.
Repeat the procedure (2-4) on the other two portions of the water. Then, calculate the total hardness of the water as parts per million(ppm) of calcium carbonate.
