    DETERMINATION OF Free Carbon Dioxide IN WATER

    Athulya K S
    This document describes a procedure to determine the amount of free carbon dioxide in a water sample. The method involves titrating the water sample with a 0.02 N sodium carbonate solution using phenolphthalein indicator. Carbon dioxide in the water reacts with the sodium carbonate. The endpoint is reached when a pink color persists for at least 30 seconds. The volume of titrant used is then used to calculate the concentration of carbon dioxide in the water sample in mg/L. Precise measurements and replications are needed to obtain accurate results.

    DETERMINATION OF FREE CARBON DIOXIDE IN WATER

    Exp. No:- Date:-

    AIM: -

    To determine the free carbon dioxide in given sample of water.

    APPARATUS: -

    Burette, pipette, Erlenmeyer flask, and beakers.

    REAGENTS:-

    O.02 N Na2CO3, Phenolphthalein indicator

    GENERAL: -

    Varying amounts of CO2 are present in water. CO2 can be picked up from the atmosphere or it is
    generated at the bottom of the lake due to decay of organic matter. Rivers receiving acid water may
    also show high CO2 content. CO2 content of water contributes of corrosion and imparts unacceptable
    taste to water.

    PRINCIPLE:-

    Free carbon dioxide is determined by titrating the sample water with 0.02 N Na2CO3 solution using
    Phenolphthalein indicator. The carbon dioxide reacts with Na2 CO3 to form HCO3-

    Na2CO3 + CO2 + H2O 2 Na H CO3


    The end point is appearance of pink colour for at least 30 seconds

    PROCEDURE: -

    Rinsed and filled the burette with 0.02 N Na2CO3 solution. A 100 ml of the given sample was taken
    into a conical flask. In order to minimise the loss of CO2 due to air bubbling, special precaution was
    taken during sampling.

    Added 2 or 3 drops of Phenolphthalein indicator into sample. The sample in the conical flask was
    titrated with the standard 0.02 N Na2CO3 solution from burette till the pink colour persists for at
    least 30 seconds. The volume (V1) of titrant used was noted. Repeat for concordant value.

    RESULT: -

    The amount of free carbon dioxide present in water sample = mg/l
