10. Determination of chloride content in the given water sample by using
Mohr’s method or argentometric method.
AIM: To determine the alkalinity of a given water sample.
CHEMICALS USED: N/10 HCl, phenolphthalein and methyl orange indicators, water sample.
Guidelines for preparation of solutions:
1. Methy1 orange indicator: Dissolve 20mg of methyl orange in 100 ml of hot water. Allow to cool and
filter if necessary.
2. Phenolphthalein indicator: Dissolve 1g of Phenolphthalein in 100ml of 95% alcohol.
3. 0.1N HCl: Measure 10mL of Conc HCl (12N) in to one liter measuring flask. Pour 30mL distilled
water and shake. Add more distilled water to make the solution up to the mark. Stopper the flask and
shake vigorously.
APPARATUS REQUIRED: Burette, pipette, conical flask, beakers, funnel, and dropper.
PRINCIPLE: Alkalinity of water means the total content of those substances in it which causes an
increased OH‐ ion concentration up on dissociation or due to hydrolysis. The alkalinity of water is
attributed to the presence of
(i) Caustic alkalinity (Due to OH‐ and CO3
2‐)
(ii) Temporary hardness (Due to HCO3‐)
Alkalinity is a measure of ability of water to neutralize the acids
Determination of alkalinity
OH‐, CO3
2‐ and HCO3
‐ can be estimated separately by titration against standard acid using
phenolphthalein and methyl orange as indicators
The determination is based on the following reactions
(i) OH- + H
+H2O P
(ii) Co32-
+ H+ HCO3
- M
(iii) HCO3- + H
+ H2O + CO2
The titration of water sample against a standard acid up to phenolphthalein end point (P) marks the
completion of reaction (i) and (ii) only. This amount of acid used thus corresponds to OH‐ plus one half of
the normal CO32‐
persent.

Eriochrome Black-T indicator (EBT), NH4OH- NH4Cl Buffer solution (pH~ 9-10), Water sample
(Unknown Hardness)

till there is effervescence and the salt is completely dissolved. Add more distilled water to make up the
volume to one litre
3. Preparation of Ammonia buffer solution
Dissolve 70g of NH4Cl in 570mL of Conc. NH3 and dilute it to one litre with distilled water.
4. Preparation of EBT solution Dissolve 0.5g of indicator in 100mL methanol.
APPARATUS REQUIRED: Conical flask, burette, pipette, measuring cylinder, funnel, filter paper,
dropper, beaker (100mL)
PRINCIPLE: Hardness is defined as the soap consuming capacity of water. Bicarbonates of Ca and Mg
cause temporary hardness while chlorides, sulphates and carbonates of Ca and Mg contribute for
permanent hardness. Temporary hardness can be removed by simple physical process like boiling but for
removing the permanent hardness chemical treatment is required. Hard water may have a number of
disadvantages thus softening of water is very essential for industrial and domestic uses.
Boiling

+ H2O + O2
Ca and Mg ions form complexes easily with EDTA (Ethylene diaminetetraacetic acid), which is the basic
principle of this experiment. The Ca+ and Mg
+2 ions present in water are titrated with EDTA solution
using Eriochrome Black T (EBT) as indicator. Since the action of the indicator and the formation of the
metal EDTA complex is governed by pH. Hence pH of the solution is kept nearly constant by adding a
basic buffer NH4OH- NH4Cl Buffer solution (pH~ 9-10).

AIM: To determine the amount of dissolved oxygen in the given water sample by Winkler’s
method, a standard solution of K2Cr2O7 of strength 0.01N is given.
CHEMICALS USED: Sodium thiosulphate, (N/40), MnSO4 KI, Starch, Conc. Sulphuric acid.
APPARATUS REQUIRED: Burette, pipette, conical flask, beaker etc.
PRINCIPLE: Determination of dissolved oxygen (D.O.) is important for Industrial purposes.Dissolved
oxygen is usually determined by Winkler’s method. It is based on the fact that dissolved oxygen oxidized
potassium iodide (KI) to iodine. The liberated iodine is titrated against standard sodium thiosulphate
solution using starch indicator. Since dissolved oxygen in water is in molecular state. It as such cannot
oxidize KI. Hence Manganese Hydroxide is used as an oxygen carrier to bring about the reaction between
KI and Oxygen. Manganese hydroxide, in turn, is obtained by the action of NaOH on MnSO4.
MnSO4 + 2NaOH → Mn (OH)2 + Na2 SO4
2 Mn(OH )2 +O2 → 2 MnO(OH )2
MnO(OH )2 + H 2 SO4 → MnSO4 + 2H 2O +[O]
2KI + H 2 SO4 +[O] → K2 SO4 + H 2O + I2
2Na2 S2O3 + I 2 → Na2 S4O6 + 2NaI
Starch + I2 → Blue colored complex.
The Nitrites present in water interfere with the titration as these can also liberate I2 from KI.
2 HNO2 + H2SO4 + 2 KI → 2 NO + K2SO4 + 2 H2O + I2.
PROCEDURE:

REQUIREMENTS:
1. Chemical or reagents: given sample of bleaching powder, KI, dil. Acetic acid (5%), N/10
sodium thiosulphate solution. Distilled water.
2. Indicator: freshly prepared starch solution.
3. Apparatus: burette, pipette, measuring flask, conical flask, funnel, pastle, and mortar.
PRINCIPLE:
Commercially available bleaching powder is a mixture of Calcium hydrochloride (CaOCl2), the active
constituent of bleaching powder is hypochlorite (CaOCl2), which produces hypochlorous acid (HOCl),
responsible for disinfectant properties.
The amount of chlorine liberated by the action of acetic acid on hypochlorites is termed as the available
chlorine.
It is expressed as the percentage by weight of bleaching powder. In principle, the determination of the
available chlorine is done by treating the hypochlorite solution with an excess of a solution of KI. The
liberated chlorine reacts with KI solution giving free iodine. This free iodine is then titrated with the
standard sodium thiosulphate solution.

AIM: To prepare phenol formaldehyde resin. (Bakelite)
APPARATUS REQUIRED:
Glass rod, beaker, funnel, measuring cylinder, roper and filter paper.
CHEMICAL REAGENTS: Glacial acetic acid, 40% formaldehyde solution, Phenol, conc. H2SO4.
PRINCIPLE:
Phenol formaldehyde resins (PFs) are condensation polymers and are obtained by condensing phenol with
formaldehyde in the presence of an acidic or alkaline catalyst. They were first prepared by Backeland, an
American Chemist who gave them the name as Bakelite. These are thermosetting polymers.
Thermosets: The polymers which on heating change irreversibly into hard rigid and infusible materials
are called thermosetting polymers. These polymers are usually prepared by heating relatively low
molecular mass, semi fluid polymers, which becomes infusible and form an insoluble hard mass on
heating. The hardening on heating is due to the formation of extensive cross-linking between different
polymeric chains.
Some important examples of thermosetting polymers are
Urea - Formaldehyde resin and Melamine - Formaldehyde resins.
Properties:
1. Phenol- formaldehyde resins having low degree of polymerization are soft. They possess
excellent adhesive properties and are usually used as bonding glue for laminated wooden planks
and in varnishes and lacquers.
2. Phenol- formaldehyde resins having high degree of polymerization are hard, rigid, scratch
resistant and infusible. They are resistant to non-oxidizing acids, salts and many organic solvents.
They can withstand very high temperatures. They act as excellent electrical insulators also.
Uses:
1. They are used for making molded articles such as radio and TV parts, combs, fountain pen
barrels, phonograph records etc.
2. They are used for making decorative laminates, wall coverings etc.

AIM: separation of metal ions by paper chromatography.
APPARATUS: Boiling tubes or chromatographic jar, Measuring cylinder. Pipette, Spotting capillaries,
test tubes, whatsman No. 1 Filter paper.
REAGENT: Potassium chromate, Lead nitrate, Silver nitrate, Mercurous nitrate, Nitric acid.
PRINCIPLE:
In paper chromatography of cations, the principles of partition, adsorption and ion exchange may be
exploited, out of these the most important is partition the involves the distribution of a solute between a
mobile liquid phase and a gel (a kind of water cellulose complex) as the stationary phase. The different
components of the sample are distributed across the paper depending on their partition coefficients.
Attempts have been to employ paper chromatography for the systematic qualitative analysis of metal
cations. However, it is not possible to separate all the cations simultaneously and therefore; the separation
of a group of cations can be handled. Most frequent of these is the preliminary separation into the current
analytical groups, each of which is then subjected to a separate chromatographic analysis.

Proceed according to the following steps:
1. Preparation of solutions-
Prepare 1 cm3 aqueous solutions of –
a). lead nitrate b). Silver nitrate
c). mercurous nitrate
by dissolving about l g crystals in a small test tube. Add few drops of HN03 to prevent
hydrolysis. For the preparation of mixture of cations, add few drops of each cation solutions in a
test tube. Developer: Distilled water.
2. Cut what man No. 1 filter paper strips of the required size: 15 cm x 2 cm to fit usual boiling tube
or 15 cm x 3 cm for chromatographic jar.
3. On each strip draw a line at about 1 cm of the one and put a dot in the centre of line. This and will
be the bottom of the strip and development will take place from this end.
4. Apply the solutions of pb+2
, Ag+1
and Hg+2
separately on 3 strips with the help of a fine capillary.
Use a fresh capillary for each solution..
5. On the 4th paper strip apply the mixture of the three cations.

AIM: Determination of heat of neutralization of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide.
APPARATUS: Weighing bottle, three 250 mL standard flasks, 250 mL beakers, thermos flask, rubber
cork (3” dia), glass stirrer, two 0.1oC thermometers, stop watch / stop clock, burette, 10 mL pipette, 100
mL conical flask, tripod stand, wire gauze.
REAGENTS: Conc. HCl, NaOH, oxalic acid, phenolphthalein indicator.
THEORY:
The enthalpy of neutralization is defined as the change in enthalpy when one mole of H+ (aq) ions from an
acid is neutralized by one mole of OH(aq) ions from a strong base in their dilute solutions at a constant
temperature and under 1 bar pressure. The neutralization reaction between a strong acid HA and a strong
base BOH occurs as:
HA (aq) + BOH (aq) BA (aq) + H2O(l)
It is observed that the enthalpy of neutralization is the same in almost all cases of neutralization reaction
between a strong acid and a strong base and is found to be – 57.2 kJ mol-1 . The reason for this can be
understood as follows. All strong acids (HA), and bases (BOH) are completely ionized in their aqueous
solutions as:
HA (aq) H + (aq) + A(aq)
BOH (aq) B + (aq) + OH(aq)
The neutralization reaction can be rewritten as:
H + (aq) + A(aq) + B + (aq) + OH(aq) B + (aq) + A(aq) + H2O(l)
Since B+
(aq) and A(aq) ions are common on both the sides of this equation, they can be cancelled to obtain
the equation.
H +
(aq) + OH(aq) H2O(l) nH o = –57.2 kJ mol
-1
Since this reaction is common to all neutralization reactions between strong acids and strong bases, their
enthalpy of neutralization is also the same.

‘When dilute solutions of strong acids are neutralized with dilute solutions of strong bases at room
temperature, when one mole of a strong mono-base is neutralized by one mole of a strong
monoprotonic acid in a sufficiently dilute solution, a constant amount of heat is evolved, termed as
the heat of neutralization’.
This experiment is performed in the following two steps:
1. Determination of heat capacity of calorimeter.
2. Determination of enthalpy of neutralization of HCl and NaOH .
A. Determination of heat capacity of calorimeter
The amount of heat absorbed or evolved during a thermo chemical process (chemical or physical) is
carried out by measuring the change in temperature. This method is called calorimetry and the
apparatus used is called calorimeter.
Calorimetric Calculations:
Calculations are based upon the first law of thermodynamics according to which the total energy of a
system and its surroundings in conserved. In an adiabatic calorimeter the heat exchange with the
surroundings is zero. Hence, the heat lost or gained inside the calorimeter must balance each other.
(i) Heat lost or gained by water
It is calculated with the help of calorimetric formula
qwater= m x s xt
Where,
m = mass of water taken in the calorimetric vessel. Since density of water is very nearly 1g mL-1 at
room temperature, the volume of water (or solution) in milliliter is numerically equal to its mass in
grams. The slight inaccuracy in omitting the presence of solutes is negligibly small.
s = Specific heat capacity of water. It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of unit mass
(1g) of water by 1oC. In joule (SI unit) the specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J
oC
-1 g
-1 and in calorie
it is 1 cal oC -1 g
-1.
t = Change in temperature = tfinal – tinitial
(ii) Heat lost or gained by calorimeter
The above formula cannot be used for the calorimeter used here (glass beaker along with the
stirrer and the thermometer). It is because the glass is a thermal insulator and heat is not
uniformly gained or lost by the entire vessel. It is almost only that part of the beaker which is
actually in contact with the reacting system which absorbs or loses heat. Mass of this portion
cannot be determined. For this reason instead of using mass and specific heat capacity, use is
made of heat capacity of calorimeter, C in the calorimetric formula i.e.
qcalorimeter = C x t
Where,
qcalorimeter is the heat lost or gained by calorimeter, C is its heat capacity, which is the amount of
heat required to raise the temperature by 1oC. t is the change in temperature.
PROCEDURE:
1. Take a clean and dry 250 mL glass beaker and place it in a thermos flask on a 3” diameter rubber
cork which is kept at the bottom of the flask.
2. Measure 100 mL distilled water into it with the help of a burette or a 50 mL pipette.
3. Cover of the thermos flask with a lid with two holes in it through which a glass stirrer and a 0.1oC
thermometer are fixed.
4. Take a 250 mL glass beaker, rinse it with distilled water and then measure 100 mL distilled water
into it.
5. Keep this beaker on a tripod stand over wire gauze. Fix a 0.1oC thermometer in it and note down
the temperatures of the water.
6. Heat the water till its temperature rises by 8o -10oC. Now remove the beaker from the tripod
stand and keep it on the laboratory table.
7. Start a stop clock and record the temperatures of the cold water in the thermos flask and the hot
water kept out side with constant stirring, alternately every 15 seconds. Continue recording the
temperature till 15 seconds before the time of mixing (i.e. up to 4 min 45 s, if the time of mixing
has been fixed as 5 min).
8. Remove the thermometer from the beaker containing hot water. Hold this beaker in your hand
near the mouth of thermos flask.
9. At about 3-4 seconds before the time of mixing (5 min), remove the lid of the thermos flask partly
and start pouring the hot water gently into the beaker kept in the thermos flask. When completely
poured, quickly replace the lid and start stirring the water in the thermos flask gently but
continuously.
10. After 30 seconds from the time of mixing (i.e. from 5 min 30 s) start recording the temperature of
mixed water at regular intervals of 30 seconds. Take 8-10 readings and record them in the table.
11. Temperature versus time graph for determination of heat capacity of calorimeter giving a vertical

B. Determination of the Enthalpy of Neutralization of Hydrochloric Acid with Sodium Hydroxide.
It can be done by the following procedure:
1. Take the same calorimeter setup (250 mL beaker, thermos flask, thermometer and stirrer whose
heat capacity was determined in experiment No.A
2. Measure 100 mL 1 M HCl solution in the 250 mL beaker used as calorimeter and keep it inside
the thermos flask.
3. Fix a glass stirrer and 0.10C thermometer in it with the help of the lid of the thermos flask.
4. Rinse a 250 mL beaker with 1 M NaOH solution and then measure 100 mL of this solution in it.
Fix the second 0.10C thermometer in it.
5. Start the stop clock and record the temperatures of HCl and NaOH solutions alternately every 15
seconds till the last reading is taken 15 seconds before the time of mixing.
6. Remove the thermometer from NaOH solution, open the lid of thermos flask partly and pour it
into the beaker containing HCl solution such that one half of mixing would occur by the time of
mixing.
7. Replace the lid as soon as the pouring is complete and start stirring the mixture solution in the
thermos flask gently but continuously.
8. Starting from 30 seconds after the time of mixing, record the temperature after every 30 seconds
for next 4-5 minutes.
9. Plot graphs of temperatures of HCl, NaOH and their mixture solutions versus time. Draw a
vertical line at the time of mixing and determine the temperatures of the acid (ta), base (tb) and
mixture tm at the time of mixing from the graph.
10. Repeat the experiment (steps 10-17) once more time to obtain second value of enthalpy of
neutralization using the same solutions

AIM: To determine the amount of chloride present in 100 ml of the given water sample, being
supplied with standard solution of sodium chloride of strength …………N and an approximately
N/20 solution of silver nitrate.
APPARATUS: Pipette, Burette, Conical flask
REAGENT: NaCl solution, AgNO3 solution, 2% K2CrO4 indicator.
PRINCIPLE:
Generally water contains chloride ions (Cl–) in the form of NaCl, KCl, CaCl2 and MgCl2.
The concentration of chloride ion in water, more than 250 ppm, is not desirable for drinking purpose. The
total chloride ion can be determined by argentometric method (Mohr’s Method).
In this method Cl– ion solution is directly titrated against AgNO3 using potassium chromate (K2CrO4) as
an indicator.
AgNO3 + NaCl AgCl + NaNO3
(In water) (White precipitate)
At the end point, when all the Cl– ions are removed. The yellow colour of chromate changes into reddish
brown due to the following reaction.
