a) the student be able to describe the importance of alkalinity in the
environmental studies.
b) the students be able to measure the alkalinity of samples

INTRODUCTION
3.2 Alkalinity is primarily caused by the presence of carbonate (C0 2-3) and
bicarbonate
(HCO-3)
ions,

3.3 In the first step, the titration is conducted until the pH is lowered to 8.2, the
point at which phenolphthalein indicator turns from pink to colourless. This
value corresponds to the points for conversion of carbonate to bicarbonate
ion.

RESULTS CALCULATIONS
6.2. From a bench acid container of concentrated sulphuric acid, and using a
digital pipette, pipette 2.8 ml of acid into the flask. Swirl to mix. Rinse the
tip under running cold water immediately after use.
6.3. Make the solution up to 1-litre with distilled water.
6.2.
6.3.
Place a small funnel into the neck of the volumetric flask and tip the
powder into it.
6.4.
Wash the powder into the flask with distilled water, mix gently to dissolve.
6.5.
Make up to the 100 ml mark with distilled water. Cap tightly, shake to
mix.

Weigh out 0.1 g of methyl orange into a small beaker (100 ml).
6.2.
6.3.
Wash the contents of the beaker into a 100 ml volumetric flask and make
up to 100 ml with distilled water. Stopper and shake to mix. Using a
small funnel, transfer to an appropriately marked dropper bottle.
6.2.
6.3.
Pour about 40 ml of the 0.05 M acid into a small beaker very slowly.
6.4.
Insert the funnel into the top of the burette and pour in the contents of
the beaker very slowly.

If the sample turns yellow, titrate with the standard acid until the colour
just changes to red. Note down the volume of acid used as B (ml).
ANALYSIS
Please show the calculation for each of the plating method and fill in the above
table. Analyze the results by using appropriate method. Explain your findings.
If the amount of acid recorded as B was > zero, then calculate total
alkalinity as follows:
