The reagent commonly used to determine hardness of water titrimetrically is

Options

  1. Aoxalic acid
  2. Bdisodium salt of EDTA
  3. Csodium citrate
  4. Dsodium thiosulphate.

Correct answer

B. disodium salt of EDTA

Step-by-step solution

Disodium salt of ethylene diamine tetracetic acid has been used for the estimation of M²⁺ metal ions like Mg ²⁺, Ca ²⁺ etc. by complexometric titrations. In this titration, indicator ions ( D³⁻ ions) form redmetal indicator complex, [M D⁻ ] with M²⁺ ions. array ccc (i) M²⁺+ & D³⁻ pH =10 & [M²⁺ D ]⁻ metal ion & indicator & Metal indicator ( Mg ²⁺ or Ca ²⁺ ) & ion (blue) & complex (red) (ii) [M²⁺ D ]⁻+ & EDTA ⁴⁻ & [M²⁺( EDTA ) ]²⁻+D³⁻ (red) & EDTA ion & metal-EDTA & & complex array The release of the free indicator i
