Question

determination of alkalinity is a type of titration known as​

Answer 1

Total alkalinity is determined by titration of the water sample to the endpoint of the methyl orange, bromocresol green, or bromocresol green–methyl red indicators, approximately pH 4.5.

Answer 2

Total alkalinity is used to determine the alkalinity of a solution.

• The alkalinity of any solution can be determined by using analytical equipment like pH meters, titrators, burets, etc.

• On a pH scale, there are 3 ranges of measuring the acidity or basicity of a solution.

• The 3 ranges are the range from 1-6 is called the acidic solution, the range from 8-14 is called the basic solution and 7 is known as a neutral solution.

• The method of titration involves the use of sulphuric acid in the sample. The sample attains a specific pH as its endpoint.

• The amount of sulphuric acid used will determine the total alkalinity of the sample.
