EDTA + Metal indicator complex Metal ion-EDTA + Indicator (wine red colour) (Blue) The reactions take place at a pH = 10 and the buffer is made by ammonium chloride and ammonium solution. Procedure: 1. Preparation of standard solution of EDTA: Weigh out accurately about 0.3722 gms of EDTA sample into a 100ml standard flask and dissolve in a minimum quantity of distilled water. Make up the solution upto the mark with distilled water and shake the flask well for uniform concentration. M1 = Molarity of the EDTA solution = Weight of EDTA transferred x 10 372.24 2.

Experiment-10 ESTIMATION OF FERRIC IRON IN CEMENT (Colorometric Estimation) Aim: To estimate the amount of Iron (Ferric) present in a sample of cement by calorimetrically using ammonium thiocyanate as a reagent. Apparatus: 250 ml beaker, Glass rod, Watch glass, 100 ml standard flask, Burette, 10 ml Pipette, Simple balance with weights Colori-meter, Heating equipment. Chemicals Required: Cement sample, Conc. Nitric acid (HNO3), Hydrochloric acid (HCl) Ammonium thio-cyanate & Distilled-water.

Principle: Ammonium thio-cyanate yields a blood red colour with ferric iron and the colour produced is stable in nitric acid medium. Its optical density is measured in a photo colorimeter and the concentration of ferric iron is found from a standard calibration curve. Procedure:

1. Dissolution of the sample: Weight out accurately about 0.1 gram of the cement sample into a clean 250 ml beaker add about 5 ml of water to moisten the sample. Place a glass rod and cover the beaker with a watch glass add about 5 ml conc. Hydrochloric acid (HCl) dropwise and heat the solution till the sample dissolved. Keep the beaker on a small flame and evaporate the solution to almost dryness to expel the excess acid.

2. Development of Colour: pipette out 10 ml of the solution prepared above, into a 100 ml standard flask, add 1 ml of conc. Nitric acid (HNO3) from a burette and 5 ml of 40% ammonium thiocyanate from a burette. Make up the solution to 100 ml with distilled water and shake the flask well for uniform concentration. Find out the optical density of the solution using the photo colorimeter and the concentration of the ferric iron from the calibration curve.

Result: Percentage of Ferric iron present in the cement sample =
