Water Hardness by EDTA Titration
Objective: To determine [Ca2+,MG2+] and [Mg2+] concentration in an
unknown water sample
A 0.0107 molarity solution of EDTA is prepared for the experiment.
25 mL of an unknown is pipetted and diluted 100 mL with distilled water and adjusted to a pH between 8 and 10 with NH4OH. A 10.00 mL portion of the diluted unknown is transferred to a 250 mL flask with 3 mL of pH 10 ammonia buffer and tiny amount of Erichrome Black T indicator (not diluted with distilled water).
The unknown is titrated with EDTA to an endpoint:
Trial 1: 18.26 mL
Trial 2: 17.66
Trial 3: 17.75
Trial 4: 17.73
A 10.00 mL aliquot of the unknown id pipetted into an Erlenmeyer flasks and 50 mL of distilled water is added to the flask. 10 drops of 50% KOH is added to precipitate Mg (OH)2 while remaining at a pH between 12 and 12.5. EDTA is titrated into the sample for three different trials:
Trial 1: 9.88 mL
Trial 2: 9.78 mL
Trial 3: 9.32 mL
The first set of trials is to calculate the [Ca2+, Mg2+] while the second set of trials is to calculate [Ca2+] alone. How are these values calculated??
Molarity of EDTA solution = 0.0107M
Now the unknown solution has both [Ca2+] and [Mg2+]. Let this net concentration be X.
Metal ions form 1:1 complex with EDTA
1 mole of EDTA = 1 mole of net metal ion
1000mL of EDTA solution has = 0.0107 moles of EDTA
Trial1: 18.26 mL of EDTA solution has = 0.0107*18.26/1000 = 1.953*10-4 moles
Trial 2: 17.66 mL of EDTA solution has = 0.0107*17.66/1000 = 1.889*10-4 moles
Trial 3: 17.75 mL of EDTA solution has = 0.0107*17.75/1000 = 1.899*10-4 moles
Trail 4: 17.73 mL of EDTA solution has = 0.0107*17.73/1000 = 1.897*10-4 moles
Thus net concentration of Ca2+ and Mg2+ is 10ml aliquot of diluted solution is equal to moles of EDTA consumed.
Mean concentration = 1.9095*10-4 moles of Ca2+ and Mg2+ in 10ml aliquot of diluted.
For estimation of Ca2+ alone,
Moles of EDTA consumed = Moles of Ca2+
Trial 1: 9.88 mL of EDTA has = 0.0107*9.88/1000 = 1.057*10-4 moles
Trial 2: 9.78 mL of EDTA has = 0.0107*9.78/1000 = 1.046*10-4 moles
Trial 3: 9.32 mL of EDTA has = 0.0107*9.32/1000 = 0.997*10-4 moles
Hence moles of Ca2+ present in 10mL aliquot of diluted unknown = moles of EDTA consumed above.
Thus mean concentration of Ca2+ = (1.057*10-4 + 1.046*10-4 + 0.997*10-4 )/3 = 1.033*10-4 moles of Ca2+
Hence moles of Mg2+ = (Total Mg2+ and Ca2+ ) - (Moles of Ca2+)
= 1.9095*10-4 - 1.033*10-4 moles = 0.8762*10-4 moles of Mg2+
thus 10 ml aliquot has 0.8762*10-4 moles of Mg2+ and 1.033*10-4 moles of Ca2+
100 mL of diluted solution has = 0.8762*10-4 *100/10moles of Mg2+ and 1.033*10-4 *100/10moles of Ca2+
= 0.8762*10-3 moles of Mg2+ and 1.033*10-3 moles of Ca2+
Original concentration of Mg2+ and Ca2+ in 25 ml of undiluted solution
= 0.8762*10-3 moles of Mg2+ and 1.033*10-3 moles of Ca2+ in 25 mL of undiluted stock (no of moles doesnt change on dilution)
= 0.8762*10-3 *1000/25 moles of Mg2+ and 1.033*10-3 *1000/25 moles of Ca2+ in 25 mL of undiluted stock
= 0.035 M of Mg2+ and 0.04132 M of Ca2+
Hence the undiluted stock = 0.035M in Mg2+ and 0.04132M in Ca2+

Standardization of NaOH: Acid Base Titration Objective: In this lab, you will accurately determine the concentration of a solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) using a 0.500M potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP) standard solution. Background: Acid–Base Titrations When an acid reacts with a base, a neutralization reaction occurs. The H+ ions from the acid and the HO– ions from the base combine to form water and are therefore neutralized. The other product of reaction is a salt. For example, hydrochloric acid reacts...
