Transcribed Image Text:PROCEDURE:
1. In a weighing bottle, weigh out accurately on the analytical balance 0.9 - 1.1 g of the
zinc metal provided.
2.
Transfer the metal carefully to a 50 ml conical flask and in the fume hood, carefully add ~4
ml of concentrated HCl into the flask to dissolve the metal
3.
Cool the solution and add concentrated NaOH drop-wise until a permanent faint white
precipitate forms.
4. Add 5 M HCl drop-wise to neutralize the solution until the zinc hydroxide (Zn(OH)2)
precipitate just dissolves. Add a further 5 drops more of the acid to acidify the solution.
Transfer the solution carefully to a 250 ml volumetric flask and make up to the mark with
distilled water. Stopper the flask firmly and shake it to ensure a homogeneous solution.
Using a buretta deliver exactly 20.00 ml of the standard zinc solution into a clean
5.
6.
250 ml conical flask. Add 70 ml of distilled water and 10 ml of the buffer solution (pH = 10).
Then add four (4) drops of the indicator solution
7.
Repeat step (6) a further 3 times so that you have a total of four conical flasks of solution for
consecutive titrations.
8. Titrate with the EDTA solution until the end-point is reached (WINE-RED to PURE
BLUE).
9. Repeat the titration until three (3) concordant results are obtained.

PROCEDURE:
1. Dilute the EDTA solution by dispensing 25.0 ml of the given EDTA from a burette into a 250
ml volumetric flask and make up to the mark with distilled water.
2. Rinse and fill the burette with the diluted EDTA solution.
3.
Dispense a 20 ml aliquot of the hard water sample into a 250 ml conical flask. Add 2 ml of
buffer solution (pH 10). Add 4 drops of the Eriochrome black T indicator solution.
4.
Repeat step (3) a further 3 times so that your have four conical flasks of the water solution
for the repeat titrations.
5.
Titrate the water sample with the EDTA solution until the colour changes from wine-red to
pure blue.
Repeat the titration until three (3) concordant results are obtained.
Express the water hardness in mol L-1 of (Ca²+ + Mg²+).
Assuming the water hardness is only due to the presence of Ca²+, express the water
hardness in terms of mg L-1 of CaCO3.
