3 Introduction and Background Why is Chemical analysis topical? pollutants in drinking water to ensure public health. The ability to know the precise composition of a substance is always going to be important: whether it be finding the percentage of metal in an ore to see if it is suitable for mining or analyzing the level of These days most of the analysis is highly automated using complex (and very expensive) equipment such as mass spectrometers or gas chromatographs which are out of the reach of most schools. Traditional analytical techniques still have their place though, especially in the field as a way of getting initial values before taking samples back for further analysis. Additionally, the analyses are a useful showcase for some good chemical techniques. Where does it fit? These activities can be used to: provide evidence for the National 5 Chemistry assignment provide an opportunity for learners to become familiar with the use of titrations as an analytical technique. The data produced can be used to provide a context within which learners can practice calculations involving the mole and balanced equations. The Chemistry A simple introduction is given for each of the experiments in the candidate guide. This sets the scene for each experiment and contains very limited background information. Prior knowledge of redox and compleximetric titrations is not required at National 5 level. To make the chemistry accessible, each titration reaction is represented by a simplified balanced equation. This allows candidates to access interesting experimental chemistry at a level appropriate to National 5. Before starting these activities it would be very useful if candidates had experience of doing titrations. Page 3
4 Investigation A1 - Calcium in water Background Drinking water contains small amounts of salts and minerals dissolved from rocks that the water has passed through. Across Britain there is considerable variation in the concentration of different ions present in tap water. Calcium ions, Ca 2+, in drinking water can supplement the calcium in our diet and may be beneficial to our health. Some popular bottled waters are advertised as being high in dissolved minerals. In high concentrations, Ca 2+ ions can be a cause of water hardness. Hard water is not a health hazard but can form an unpleasant scum with soap as well as causing washing machines, irons and heating boilers to break down. The determination of water hardness is a useful test that provides a measure of quality of water for households and industrial uses. Originally, water hardness was defined as the measure of the capacity of the water to precipitate soap. Soap scum is formed when the calcium ion binds with the soap. This causes an insoluble compound that precipitates to form the scum you see. Soap actually softens hard water by removing the Ca 2+ ions from the water. The concentration of calcium ions can be measured by titrating a sample of water using a chemical known as EDTA. Ca 2+ + Na2C10H14N2O8 Ca C10H14N2O8 + 2Na + calcium ion EDTA calcium compound sodium ions The calcium ion concentration can be determined by titration with a chelating agent, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), usually in the form of disodium salt. The titration reaction is: Page 4
5 The Ca 2+ (aq) ion is determined at a high ph, by adding NaOH solution to precipitate any Mg 2+ (aq) ions present in the water as Mg(OH)2(s). Murexide indicator is used which changes from pink to purple when the endpoint is reached. As the titre of EDTA is directly proportional to the concentration of calcium ions, candidates can compare the calcium ion levels in different samples without the need to carry out concentration calculations. Titre values can be used to rank the samples in order of increasing calcium ion concentration. This can be compared with the order found using literature/internet data. Possible Investigations There is a variety of different factors candidates can investigate. For instance, the calcium content can be compared: in different brands of mineral water in water samples from around the UK* in samples passed through different domestic water filters *Details on how to prepare simulated water samples from different UK locations are provided in the technician guide.

How water filters work Page 6
7 The Experiment You will need 0 01 mol l -1 EDTA solution (if your water sample is very pure, you may need to use a mol l -1 solution) 1 mol l -1 sodium hydroxide solution (NaOH) Clamp and stand Murexide indicator Funnel 3 cm 3 dropper or 5/10 cm 3 measuring cylinder 50 cm 3 burette 25 cm 3 pipette and safety filler 100 cm 3 conical flask See technician s guide for details of the reagents. * In the Pupil booklet it suggests 0.01 mol l -1 EDTA solution but for water samples very low in calcium, you may need to use mol l -1 EDTA solution. ** A solution will give greater consistency of colour intensity but it is easier to use the powder ground with sodium/potassium chloride added on a spatula tip this gets around any issues of stability though that is not much of a problem with murexide. Page 7
8 Method 1. Using the funnel, fill a 50 cm 3 burette with 0 01 mol l -1 EDTA solution, making sure the tip is full and free of air bubbles. 2. Using a pipette, add 25 0 cm 3 of your water sample into a 100 cm 3 conical flask. 3. Add 2 cm 3 of 1 mol l -1 sodium hydroxide to the flask using a dropper or a small measuring cylinder. 4. Add a spatula tip of murexide indicator powder 5. Remove the funnel from the top of the burette and note the reading on the burette. 6. Titrate the water sample using the 0 01 mol l -1 EDTA solution until the colour changes from pink to purple and then read the burette to the nearest 0 1 cm Repeat the titration until your titres agree to within 0 2 cm 3. Page 8
9 Extension Total Hardness Determination. As was mentioned in the introduction, permanent hardness of water is due to the presence of calcium and/or magnesium ions in the water; almost always both but in varying proportions. The total hardness, therefore is a combination of the two concentrations. It may be of interest to compare two water samples of equal hardness to see if they are actually the same, or indeed to see if two samples with the same calcium concentration have the same level of hardness. To do this, we need to determine the amount of magnesium in the water. It is not possible (or at least not straightforward) to do this directly but it is fairly easy to determine the total hardness. Subtracting the calcium hardness from this will give the concentration of magnesium. For the calcium determination, the ph of the solution is raised to ph 12 or above. This causes the magnesium salts to precipitate out as insoluble magnesium hydroxide. The total hardness titration is carried out at a lower ph, about ph 10 produced by an ammonia buffer, and using a different indicator, Eriochrome black T (aka solochrome black) Preparation Ammonia Buffer 1. Dissolve 17 5g of ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) in 142 cm 3 of concentrated ammonia (0 880). 2. Dilute to 250 cm 3 with distilled water. Eriochrome Black T preparation The easiest method is for the Eriochrome Black T to be ground with potassium or sodium chloride as described for the murexide in the calcium titration. A spatula-tip of the powder can then be added. If a liquid indicator is desired, for instance to ensure a consistent colour intensity, it can be prepared as follows: 1. Put on gloves and protective eyewear and weigh out approximately 0 5 g of solid Eriochrome Black T, (EBT) on a balance and transfer it to a small beaker or flask. Add about 50 cm 3 of 95 percent ethanol (IDA) and swirl the mixture until the EBT has fully dissolved. Page 9
10 2. Weigh out 4 5 g of hydroxylamine hydrochloride on a balance and transfer it to the beaker or flask containing the EBT. Swirl until the hydroxylamine hydrochloride has fully dissolved. 3. Transfer the solution containing the EBT and hydroxylamine hydrochloride to a 100 cm 3 graduated cylinder. Add enough 95 percent ethanol (IDA) to bring the total volume to exactly 100 cm 3 4. Transfer the EBT solution from the 100 cm 3 graduated cylinder to a dropper bottle and label the bottle "0 5% Eriochrome Black T in ethanol." Tips & Warnings EBT indicator solutions typically exhibit very short shelf lives. Always prepare a fresh EBT solution when performing complexometric titrations. Hydroxylamine hydrochloride is highly toxic and corrosive to skin and mucous membranes. Avoid direct skin contact. Wear rubber gloves and protective eyewear at all times when handling this compound. Ethanol is flammable. Avoid working near open flames or other possible sources of ignition. You will need 0 01 mol l -1 EDTA solution (if your water sample is very pure, you may need to use a mol l -1 solution) 1 mol l -1 sodium hydroxide solution (NaOH) Clamp and stand Murexide indicator Funnel 3 cm 3 dropper or 5/10 cm 3 measuring cylinder 50 cm 3 burette 25 cm 3 pipette and safety filler 100 cm 3 conical flask Method 1. Fill a 50 cm 3 burette with 0 01 mol l -1 EDTA solution, making sure the tip is full and free of air bubbles. 2. Add 25 0 cm 3 of an unknown hard water solution into a 100 cm 3 beaker. Page 10
11 3. Add 5 cm 3 of ammonia buffer to the beaker. 4. Add 0 5 cm 3 of Eriochrome Black T indicator. 5. Titrate with the 0 01 M EDTA until the colour changes from wine red to pure blue. Read burette to +/- 0 1 cm Repeat the titration until the final volumes agree to +/- 0 2 cm 3. Page 11
12 Investigation A2 - Calcium in milk Introduction Milk, and other dairy produce are extremely important sources of calcium in the diet. It is very important for: helping build strong bones and teeth regulating muscle contractions, including heartbeat making sure blood clots normally A lack of calcium could lead to a condition called rickets in children and osteomalacia or osteoporosis in later life. The same technique as for water analysis, EDTA titration, can be used to determine the concentration of calcium in milk, though using a higher concentration of EDTA to reflect the higher concentration of calcium. As the titre of EDTA is directly proportional to the concentration of calcium ions, candidates can compare the calcium ion levels in different samples without the need to carry out concentration calculations. Titre values can be used to rank the samples in order of increasing calcium ion concentration. This can be compared with the order found using literature/internet data. Possible investigations There is a variety of different factors candidates can investigate.. For instance, the calcium content can be compared: in milks from different sources (cow, goat, soya etc) in treated milk (skimmed, homogenized, semi-skimmed, UHT etc) in baby milks in powdered milks Media Items Page 12

A leaflet from the British Dietitians Association that gives information about milk and its dietary importance The average calcium content (along with other minerals) for the different bottled waters that they sell are provided on supermarket websites, such as Tesco, Sainsburys etc. 4. Detailed data about the nutritional content can be found in tables from Public Health England, here /McCance Widdowson_s_Composition_of_Foods_Integrated_Dataset.xlsx (This gives you a large dataset in spreadsheet form Open the tab (on the bottom) labelled inorganics. All sorts of mineral values are given, including calcium) 5. A BBC Good Food article on milk and nutrition 6. Information on EDTA titration of calcium ions The Experiment You will need 0 1 mol l -1 EDTA solution Murexide indicator 1 mol l -1 sodium hydroxide solution (NaOH) Clamp and stand Funnel 3 cm 3 dropper or 5/10 cm 3 measuring cylinder 50 cm 3 burette 10 cm 3 pipette and safety filler 100 cm 3 conical flask 100 cm 3 measuring cylinder Distilled water White tile Page 13
14 Preparation A convenient way to use murexide indicator is by trituration. A small amount of indicator, 0 1 g, is ground in a pestle and mortar with 20 g of potassium (or sodium) chloride until it is fully mixed. A spatula tip of the powder can then be added to the solution to titrate. Method 1. Using a funnel, fill the burette with 0 1 mol l -1 EDTA solution, making sure the tip is full and free of air bubbles. 2. Using a pipette, add 10 0 cm 3 of milk to the 100 cm 3 conical flask. 3. Using the measuring cylinder, add 40 cm 3 of distilled water to the flask. 4. Add 5 cm 3 of 1 mol l -1 sodium hydroxide using a 3 cm 3 Pasteur pipette or a small measuring cylinder. 5. Add a spatula tip of murexide indicator powder. 6. Remove the funnel from the top of the burette and note the reading on the burette. 7. Titrate with the 0 1 mol l -1 EDTA until the colour changes from salmon pink to orchid purple*. Read the burette to the nearest 0 1 cm Repeat the titration until the titres agree to within 0 2 cm 3. * The colour change is not as clear as it is for water samples but is still clear enough to see.

16 Investigation B Analysis of Iron in foods Introduction In this experiment the sample is dissolved in nitric acid which oxidises the iron to the ferric-state, Fe 3+. Addition of excess iodide under mildly acidic conditions results in quantitative iron reduction to the ferrous-state, Fe 2+, and simultaneous oxidation of the iodide to iodine. 2Fe Iˉ 2Fe 2+ + I2 Iodine produced in the iron reduction is titrated with standard thiosulfate to a starch end-point. I2 + 2S2O3 2-2Iˉ + S4O6 2- If students are simply comparing the levels of calcium in different samples, as long as the same sodium thiosulfate solution is used in each experiment its concentration does not need to be accurately known so it can be simply taken as made up. If, however, you wish to use this experiment to determine actual concentrations of calcium ions, for example with Higher or AH students, as sodium thiosulphate is not a primary standard it will have to be standardised before use. This can be done by using your thiosulphate solution to titrate the iodine produced when an unmeasured excess of potassium iodide is added to a known volume of an acidified standard potassium iodate solution (iodate is a primary standard). The amount of iodine is known and thus the concentration of thiosulphate can be determined. There are a few foods that will work using this method but we have only tested tea and breakfast cereal there is no reason, however, why other readily ashable foods could not be chosen too. From a practical point of view, it might be preferable if the ashed samples are prepared by technicians though there is no specific reason why pupils should not carry this out if it is wished. As the titre of thiosulfate is directly proportional to the mass of iron present in each sample, candidates can use their titre values to rank the foods without having to calculate the mass of iron present. This can be compared with the order found using literature/internet data. Page 16
17 Possible investigations There is a variety of different factors you can investigate. For instance: Iron levels could be determined in different types of tea in teas from different countries in breakfast cereals made from different crops (wheat, oat, corn or rice) in organic, branded or own-label products Media Items 1. Information from the NHS about iron in the diet Detailed data about the nutritional content can be found in tables from Public Health England, here /McCance Widdowson_s_Composition_of_Foods_Integrated_Dataset.xls x (This gives you a large dataset in spreadsheet form Open the tab (on the bottom) labelled inorganics.

The experiment You will need Preparing the solution Sample of food or tea Access to a balance (2dp) Bunsen burner, tripod and pipe-clay triangle 2 mol l -1 nitric acid solution crucible 100 cm 3 beaker 25 or 100 cm 3 measuring cylinder 50 cm 3 volumetric flask Funnel and filter paper The titration 20 cm 3 pipette and safety filler 100 cm 3 flask funnel 0 01 mol l -1 sodium thiosulfate solution 1% starch solution burette and stand Dropper (for adding starch) white tile Method Preparing the solution 1. Accurately weigh about 2 0 g of tea/breakfast cereal into a crucible and roast it in a fume cupboard for several minutes until all the tea has turned to ash and no more smoke is coming off. A significant amount of smoke is likely to be produced It may be that the technician will prepare the extracts (or at least do the burning). If the pupils are doing it then there will need to be good ventilation or use of a fume cupboard. Page 18
19 2. Allow the ash to cool and wash it into a beaker using 2 mol l -1 nitric acid. [CORROSIVE] 3. Add a further 20 cm 3 of 2 mol l -1 nitric acid [CORROSIVE] is added and boil the mixture for 5 minutes. 4. Let the mixture cool again and then filter it (to make sure any unburned carbon that could possibly remain in the mixture and affect the result is removed). 5. Place the filtrate is then placed in a 50 cm 3 standard flask and made up to the mark using distilled water. The titration 1. Using a funnel, fill the burette with 0 01 mol l -1 sodium thiosulfate solution, making sure the tip is full and free of air bubbles. 2. Using a pipette and safety filler, add 20 0 cm 3 of the food extract to a conical flask. 3. Add 1 0 g of potassium iodide. The solution should now go brown. 4. Remove the funnel from the top of the burette and note the reading on the burette. 5. Titrate the solution in the conical flask using the 0 01 mol l -1 sodium thiosulfate in the burette. 6. When the yellow colour has almost gone, add 1 cm 3 of starch solution to produce a dark blue/black solution. 7. Continue titrating until the solution goes clear and colourless (and remains clear and colourless for at least 1 minute). Read the burette to the nearest 0 1 cm Repeat the titration until the titres agree to within 0 2 cm 3. Page 19

21 Investigation C Chloride in sea water Introduction This method determines the chloride ion concentration of a solution by titration with silver nitrate. As the silver nitrate solution is slowly added, a precipitate of silver chloride forms. Ag + (aq) + Clˉ(aq) AgCl(s) The end point of the titration occurs when all the chloride ions are precipitated. Then additional silver ions react with the chromate ions of the indicator, potassium chromate, to form a red-brown precipitate of silver chromate. 2 Ag + (aq) + CrO4 2 (aq) Ag2CrO4(s) This method can be used to determine the chloride ion concentration of water samples from many sources. As the titre of silver nitrate is directly proportional to the concentration of chloride ions, candidates can compare the chloride ion levels in different samples without the need to carry out concentration calculations. Titre values can be used to rank the samples in order of increasing chloride ion concentration. This can be compared with the order found using literature/internet data. Possible investigations There is a variety of different factors you can investigate. For instance: The level of chloride ions could be determined: In samples of water from different seas In water sampled at different points in an estuary Media Items 1. A simple explanation of the oceans salinity 2. Average composition of seawater and salinity of various seas A list of the salinity of various bodies of water. Page 21

A guide to the Mohr method for determination of chlorides 6. A World Health Organisation about chlorides in drinking water. The Experiment Equipment Needed Preparing dilute samples of seawater 20 cm 3 pipette and safety filler 100 cm 3 volumetric flask Titration diluted sea water sample 10 cm 3 and 100 cm 3 measuring cylinders 250 cm 3 conical flasks 0 1 mol l -1 silver nitrate 1 mol l -1 potassium chromate indicator burette and stand white tile funnel Solutions Needed Silver nitrate solution: (0 1 mol l 1 ) If possible, dry 5 0 g of AgNO3 for 2 hours at 100 C and allow to cool. Accurately weigh about 4 25 g of solid AgNO3 and dissolve it in 250 cm 3 of distilled water in a conical flask. Store the solution in a brown bottle. Potassium chromate indicator solution: (approximately 0 25 mol l -1 ) Dissolve 1 0 g of K2CrO4 in 20 cm 3 distilled water. Page 22
23 Sample Preparation If the seawater contains traces of solid matter such as sand or seaweed, it must be filtered before use. Dilute seawater by pipetting a 20 cm 3 sample into a 100 cm 3 volumetric flask and making it up to the mark with distilled water. Titration 1. Pipette a 10 0 cm 3 aliquot of diluted seawater into a conical flask and add about 50 cm 3 distilled water and 1 cm 3 of chromate indicator 2. Titrate the sample with 0 1 mol l -1 silver nitrate solution. Although the silver chloride that forms is a white precipitate, the chromate indicator initially gives the cloudy solution a faint lemon-yellow colour. Before the addition of any silver nitrate the chromate indicator gives the clear solution a lemon-yellow colour. 3. The endpoint of the titration is identified as the first appearance of a redbrown colour of silver chromate 4. Repeat the titration with further aliquots of diluted seawater until concordant results (titres agreeing within 0 2 cm 3 ) are obtained. Page 23
24 Additional Notes 1. This titration should be carried out under conditions of ph At higher ph silver ions may be removed by precipitation with hydroxide ions, and at low ph chromate ions may be removed by an acid-base reaction to form hydrogen chromate ions or dichromate ions, affecting the accuracy of the end point. If you are analysing samples of water as described then this will not be a problem. 2. It is a good idea to first carry out a rough titration in order to become familiar with the colour change at the end point. 3. The Mohr titration is sensitive to the presence of both chloride and bromide ions in solution and will not be too accurate when there is a significant concentration of bromide present as well as the chloride. However, in most cases, such as seawater, the bromide concentration will be negligible. Page 24
25 Technician Guide Investigation A - Calcium Each group will need EDTA solution* Murexide indicator** 1 mol l -1 NaOH 1x Burette Clamp and stand 100 or 250 cm 3 flasks for titrations - 1 (to be washed out after each titration) or more 1 x 100 cm 3 beaker for topping up burette with EDTA Small funnel for topping up burette. Spatula for adding indicator 3 cm 3 pasteur pipette (or 5/10 cm 3 Samples of different milks measuring cylinder) for adding NaOH Samples of different waters*** Preparation * EDTA solution If possible, dry the disodium salt of EDTA for several hours or overnight at 80 C, allow to cool. For calcium in water, this should be 0 01 mol l -1 BUT if the water is very low in calcium then a lower concentration such as mol l -1 will be needed Weigh 1 86 g of the dried EDTA salt and dissolve it in 500 cm 3 of distilled water in a volumetric flask. (for waters that are very low in calcium, it may be necessary to dilute the EDTA further (1:10) to get a reasonable titre. For calcium in milk, it should be 0 1 mol l -1 Weigh 4 65 g of the dried EDTA salt and dissolve it in 500 cm 3 of distilled water in a volumetric flask. **Murexide preparation The easiest way to do this is a method called trituration. In a pestle and mortar add 0 1g of indicator powder to 20g or potassium or sodium chloride and grind thoroughly. Page 25
26 To use add a spatula-tip of the salt/indicator powder to the solution. *** Water preparation In Scotland, most tap waters are low in calcium. The easiest way to get round this is to purchase various mineral waters they tell you the mineral content, including the calcium content, on the label. You can decant the water and suggest for instance that they are waters from different springs. Alternatively, you can make artificial hard water Add 0 7g of calcium sulphate-2-water to 1 litre of water in a bottle. Leave overnight to dissolve. This gives you a solution that has 360 ppm of calcium in it equivalent to very hard water areas like York and Lincoln. To get water samples representative of other parts of the UK, dilute as follows: Hard water eg Leicester 250ppm 69 cm 3 made up to 100 cm 3 Moderately hard eg Cheltenham 150 ppm 42 cm 3 made up to 100 cm 3 Slightly hard eg Blackpool 100 ppm 27 cm 3 made up to 100 cm 3 Or for Scotland moderately sofy eg Moffat cm 3 made up to 100 cm 3 moderately hard eg Shetland cm 3 made up to 100 cm3 Hard (eg Tiree) cm 3 made up to 100 cm 3 (Note that Scottish Water uses Hard and Soft at slightly different levels. Calcium sulphate produces what is known as permanent hardness. If the experiment is looking at the effect of boiling water on calcium concentration, you will probably want to make up some temporary hard water. Take 445 cm 3 of freshly made limewater Bubble carbon dioxide through the solution so that the calcium carbonate precipitates. Continue bubbling it until the solution goes clear again. Dilute the solution to 1 litre. Assuming all the calcium has ended up as calcium hydrogen carbonate, this will give you a concentration of 360 ppm. If you want, you can then make up dilute solutions as above. Page 26
27 Calcium hydrogencarbonate is not stable, it will slowly return to CO2 and calcium carbonate. Page 27
28 Investigation B Analysis of Iron in foods In this experiment the sample is dissolved in nitric acid which oxidises the iron to the ferric-state, Fe 3+. Sodium thiosulphate is not a primary standard so it will have to be standardised before use. There are probably lots of foods that will work using this methods but we have only tested tea and breakfast cereal. Each group will need Access to a balance (2dp) Bunsen burner, tripod and pipe-clay triangle* Funnel and filter paper crucible 100 cm 3 beaker 100 cm 3 flask 50 cm 3 volumetric flask Burette and stand pipette 2 mol l -1 nitric acid** 0 01 mol l -1 sodium thiosulphate solution 1% starch solution * A significant amount of smoke is likely to be produced It may be that the technician will prepare the extracts (or at least do the burning). If the pupils are doing it then there will need to be good ventilation or use of a fume cupboard. Preparing the solution 1. Accurately weigh about 2 0 g of tea/breakfast cereal into a crucible and roast it in a fume cupboard for several minutes until all the tea has turned to ash and no more smoke is coming off. 2. Allow the ash to cool and wash it into a 100 cm 3 beaker using 2 mol l -1 nitric acid. [CORROSIVE] 3. Add a further 20 cm 3 of 2 mol l -1 nitric acid [CORROSIVE] is added and boil the mixture for 5 minutes. 4. Let the mixture cool again and then filter it (to make sure any unburned carbon, that could possibly remain in the mixture and affect the result, is removed). Page 28
29 5. Place the filtrate in a 50 cm 3 standard flask and make up to the mark using distilled water. ** 2 mol l -1 nitric acid is corrosive. Goggles to BS EN166 3 will be needed. Page 29
30 Investigation C Chloride in sea water This method determines the chloride ion concentration of a solution by titration with silver nitrate. As the silver nitrate solution is slowly added, a precipitate of silver chloride forms. The end point of the titration occurs when all the chloride ions are precipitated. Then additional silver ions react with the chromate ions to form a red-brown precipitate of silver chromate. Each group will need burette and stand 10 and 20 cm 3 pipettes/measuring cylinders. 100 cm 3 volumetric flask 250 cm 3 conical flask(s). If they are in short supply, pupils can wash theirs out between titrations. 10 cm 3 and 100 cm 3 measuring cylinders 0 1 mol l -1 silver nitrate 1 cm 3 pasteur pipette 20 cm 3 pipette and filler* 0 25 mol l -1 potassium chromate indicator * If this is not easily accessible, the fact that the density of seawater is so close to that of distilled water, compared to 1 000, means the aliquot can be measured by mass. 20 cm 3 of seawater has a mass of 20 5g Preparation Silver nitrate solution: (0.1 M) If possible, dry 5 0 g of AgNO3 for 2 hours at 100 C and allow to cool. Accurately weigh 4 25 g of solid AgNO3 and dissolve it in 250 cm 3 of distilled water in a conical flask. Store the solution in a brown bottle. Potassium chromate indicator solution: (approximately 0 25 mol l -1 ) Dissolve 1 0 g of K2CrO4 in 20 cm 3 distilled water. Page 30

Technician while making up solution and pupils/teacher by splashes when using. Avoid raising dust. Wear gloves and goggles EN
38 Seawater is of low hazard but if genuine seawater is used it is best to boil the sample before use to destroy any potentially harmful micro-organisms. The reaction mixture is still classed as mutagenic and carcinogenic due to the chromate. Description of activity: Samples of seawater (real or artificial) are titrated against silver nitrate using potassium chromate as an indicator. Additional comments: The chromate is very hazardous to the environment. To dispose, filter the reaction mixture and keep the residue (a mixture of silver chloride and silver chromate) for disposal by registered contractor. If the filtrate is yellow, meaning there is unreacted chromate, acidify to approximately ph 2 and add sodium hydrogensulphite to reduce to Cr(III). Precipitate the Cr 3+ as hydroxide, filter and keep for disposal by a licensed contractor.
