6. Why does the colour of the solution changes from wine red to blue?
Ca2+ /Mg2+ + EBT [EBT - Ca2+ /Mg2+ ]
In water
[less stable wine red]
2+
2+
[EBT - Ca /Mg ] + EDTA [EDTA - Ca2+ /Mg2+ ] + EBT
[Less stable wine red]
more stable - colourless blue
Colour
7. What is the role of buffer solution?
To maintain pH 9 10.
8. What is the name of the buffer used in EDTA titration?
Ammonium chloride - Ammonium hydroxide.
9. Why hardness is expressed in equivalents of calcium carbonate?
Calcium carbonate is most insoluble salt and its molecular weight and
equivalent weights are 100 and 50 respectively.
10. What is hard water and soft water?
Water which readily lathers with soap is called soft water and which
does not produce lather is known as hard water.
