Method Determination of Water Hardness by Complexometric Titration

Complexometric titration method

Objectives: Determination of Water Hardness by Complexometric Titration

  • <p>Determination of concentration of total amount of calcium and magnesium salts in water.

  • Knowing about drawbacks of high water hardness in our real life.

  • Understanding the complexation reactions.

  • Understanding the concept of direct titration.</p>

Background: Determination of Water Hardness by Complexometric Titration

Complexometric reaction involves reaction of metal with ligand to form complex.
 
Stability constant (k): An equilibrium constant for the formation of complex in a solution. It measures the strength of interaction between reagents that come together to form complex.


High stability constant à high tendency to form complex.

Principle | Water Hardness Titration Virtual Experiment

EDTA is a sequestering agent which can form complex with calcium present in water sample
Mn+ + H2Y2-  ⇋ MY (n-4) + 2H
