Комплексонометрическое титрование ЭДТА для определения жёсткости воды

Измерение содержания кальция и магния в воде

Titrations Advanced (University) 45 мин ~$15,00

Цель

Определить общую жёсткость пробы воды путём титрования растворённых ионов Ca2+ и Mg2+ раствором ЭДТА с использованием эриохрома чёрного T в качестве индикатора.

Предпосылки

EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) forms stable 1:1 complexes with metal ions. In the presence of Eriochrome Black T indicator at pH 10, the solution is wine-red when metal ions are present and turns blue when all metal ions are complexed by EDTA, marking the endpoint.

Предупреждения по безопасности

  • Ammonia buffer has a strong odor — use in a ventilated area
  • Wear safety goggles
  • EDTA is generally safe but avoid ingestion

Материалы

  • Water sample (250 mL)
    Tap water or well water
  • EDTA solution (100 mL)
    0.01M, disodium salt
  • Eriochrome Black T indicator (5 mL)
    Solid or solution
  • Ammonia buffer (pH 10) (20 mL)
    NH₃/NH₄Cl buffer
  • Distilled water (200 mL)

Оборудование

50 mL burette Burette stand and clamp 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask 25 mL pipette White tile

Процедура

1

Pipette exactly 25.0 mL of the water sample into the Erlenmeyer flask.

2 мин
2

Add 2 mL of ammonia buffer (pH 10) to the flask.

1 мин Ammonia odor — work in ventilated area
3

Add a small amount of Eriochrome Black T indicator. The solution should turn wine-red.

1 мин
4

Fill the burette with 0.01M EDTA solution. Record the initial volume.

3 мин
5

Titrate by adding EDTA slowly while swirling. The wine-red color will gradually shift.

10 мин
6

Near the endpoint, add EDTA drop by drop until the color changes sharply from wine-red to blue.

5 мин
7

Record the final volume. Repeat for concordant results.

12 мин
8

Calculate total hardness in mg/L CaCO₃ equivalent using the formula: Hardness = (V(EDTA) x C(EDTA) x 100.09 x 1000) / V(sample).

5 мин

Ожидаемые результаты

Typical tap water has 100-250 mg/L total hardness (CaCO₃ equivalent). The color change should be a clear transition from wine-red to blue. Soft water requires less EDTA; hard water requires more.

Уборка

Dispose of EDTA solutions down the drain (biodegradable at these concentrations). Rinse all glassware.
