    The document describes an experiment to determine the alkalinity of water samples. It outlines the aim, apparatus, reagents, theory, procedure, observations, results, and discussion. The procedure involves titrating water samples with hydrochloric acid using phenolphthalein and methyl red indicators to determine total alkalinity due to carbonates, bicarbonates, and hydroxides. The results show that a synthetic sample has a total alkalinity of 201 mg/L of CaCO3, while tap water has a lower total alkalinity of 28.3 mg/L of CaCO3.

    EXPERIMENT-5 Aim-To determine the alkalinity in a given water solution.

    Apparatus Used-Pipette, Burette, Conical flask, Beaker, Measuring flask, stand.


    Reagents Required- Phenolphthalein indicator, Methyl Red indicator.

    Theory- Alkalinty of a water is a measure of its capacity to neutralized acids, i.e.


    absorb hydrogen ions, without significant pH change. It is caused by the presence of hydroxide (OH),carbonates(CO3-) and bicarbonates(HCO3-). Total alkalinity in water may consists of (1) : only hydroxides (2) : only carbonates (3) : hydroxides and carbonates (4) : carbonates and bicarbonates (5) : only bicarbonates Phenolphthalein- It is a white or yellowish-white crystalline compound (C20H14O4)used in analysis as an indicator. It is an acid base indicator which turns water into pink, if the ph is more than 8.3.In mentioned titration , phenolphthalein is therefore used to compute the amount of acid required to reduce the pH. Methyl Red-It is a pH indicator frequently used in titrations. it is usually used in titrations for acid. If a solution becoming less acidic, methyl red moves from red to orange and finally to yellow with the reverse occurring for a solution increasing in acidity. The entire colour change occurs in acidic conditions

    Procedure1. Standardization of NAOH (.1M)1) Make the KHP solution (.1M,100ml).

    2) 10ml KHP solution & dilute 100ml & added phenolphthalein, titrate with NAOH, till the colour changes and was record the consumed NAOH.

    2. Standardization of HCLTaken .1N HCL, 100ml dilute & added phenolphthalein & titrate with NAOH solution, till the colour changes and record the consumed NAOH.

    3. Determine of alkalinity of synthetic sampleTaken 10ml of synthetic solution (NAOH+NA2CO3) & diluted to 100ml & titrated with HCL(10 time diluted) using phenolphthalein, till the colour changes and record the consumed HCL, after that added methyl red & further colour changes & recorded the volume of consumed HCL.

    4. Alkalanity of tap waterTap water(100ml) titrated with HCL, till the colour changes and record the consumed HCL.

    OBSERVATION TABLESAMPLE TITRATED Description Volume (ml) 0.01M KHP .1N HCL SYNTHETIC SOLUTION SYNTHETIC SOLUTION Tap water 100 100 100 100 100 INDICAT0R Phenolphthal ein/ methyl red PHEN. PHEN.

    RESULT1.Alkalinity of synthetic samples are (i)Phenolphthalein(carbonate) A =127mg/L OF CaCO3 (ii)Methyl red alkalinity (OH-) B =74mg/L of CaCO3
    Total alkalinity (A+B) =127+74 =201mg/L of CaCO3 2. Alkalinity of Tap water:

    (i)Phenolphthalein(carbonate) A =0mg/L OF CaCO3 (ii)Methyl red alkalinity (OH-) B =28.3mg/L of CaCO3


    Total alkalinity (A+B) =28.3+0 =28.3mg/L of CaCO3

    DISCUSSIONAlkalinity is sometimes incorrectly used interchangeably with basicity. For example, the pH of a solution can be lowered by the addition of CO2. This will reduce the basicity; however, the alkalinity will remain unchanged.

    PRECAUTIONS1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Solutions should be made properly. Reading should be noted down properly. Glass ware should be washed before use. Only 2 3 drops of indicator should be used. Titration should be done very slowly and carefully.
