    920.194 Carbonate and Bicarbonate in Water

    Uploaded by

    Vanessa Higuera
    This 3-sentence summary provides the key details about the carbonate and bicarbonate titrimetric method for determining these ions in water: The method uses phenolphthalein and methyl orange indicators to titrate a water sample first with HCl or H2SO4 to determine the amount of carbonate present, and then a second titration to determine total carbonate and bicarbonate, allowing the bicarbonate concentration to be calculated by difference. The results are expressed in mg/L of carbonate or bicarbonate ions in the water sample.

    AOAC Official Method 920.194
    Carbonate and Bicarbonate
    in Water
    Titrimetric Method
    First Action 1920
    Final Action
    To 100 mL test portion add few drops phenolphthalein, and if pink
    is produced, titrate with 0.05M HCl or 0.025M H2SO4, adding drop
    every 2–3 s until color disappears. Multiply buret reading by factor 3
    to obtain mg CO3 ion in 100 mL. To colorless solution from this
    titration, or to original solution if no color is produced with
    phenolphthalein, add 1–2 drops methyl orange, continue titration
    without refilling buret, and note total reading. If CO3 is absent,
    multiply total buret reading by factor 3.05 to obtain value of HCO3
    ion in mg/100 mL. If CO3 is present, multiply reading with
    phenolphthalein by 2 and subtract from total reading of buret.
    Multiply difference by 3.05 to obtain HCO3 ion in mg/100 mL.
    Express results as mg/L.
