speeds. When conductance values plotted against volume of titrants added, U shape is obtain, the
point of intersection of lines gives the end point.

Aim: - Determination of total hardness of water by EDTA method.

Apparatus: - Beaker, conical flask, burette, pipette, standard flask etc.

Chemicals: - Calcium carbonate, EDTA, Buffer solution, EBT dye etc.

Theory: - In hard water sample the total hardness can be determined by titrating the Ca2+ and Mg2+
present in an aliquot of the water sample at pH10 with EDTA using EBT indicator. Permanent
hardness can be determined by precipitating the temporary hardness by prolonged boiling followed
by titration with EDTA solution. The difference in the titre values corresponds to the temporary
hardness of the water sample.

When Eriochrome Black-T dye is added to the hard water at pH around 10 it gives wine red colored
unstable complex with Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions of the sample water. Now when this wine red-colored
complex is titrated against EDTA solution (of known strength) the color of the complex changes from
wine red to original blue color showing the end point.

Aim: - To determine pH value of solution by Indicator pH meter and pH paper.

Apparatus: - Standard flask Beaker PH Meter PH Paper Glass Electrode etc.

Chemicals: - Buffer solution, hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide etc.

Theory: - The pH value of solution is defined as negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration. It is
expressed in gram/ion lit.

pH = -Log [H+] = Log10 1/[H+]

AT 250 the ionic product of water

Kw = [H+] [OH-] =10-14

Also in pure water [H+] = [OH-]

In neutral solution [H+] = [OH-]

[H+] [OH-] = (1×10-7) (1×10-7)

pH of neutral solution = -Log10 10-7 = 7

Consequently, PH of neutral solution is 7; in acidic solution PH<7, since [H+]>10-7 on the other hand PH
of the alkaline sol.n is >7, Since [H+] <10-7

pH value of distilled water = 7

pH of the sol.n is tasted by using pH paper. This gives different colour with different values.

Aim: - To Study the factors influencing on rate of Electrochemical Corrosion.

Apparatus: - Daniel Cell etc.

Chemicals: - Sulphuric acid etc.

Theory: - Corrosion is defined as disintegration of deterioration of metals by chemical or

electrochemical reaction with its environment. The electrochemical corrosion occurs when a
conducting liquid is in contact with metal or when two dissimilar metals or alloys either immersed of
disposed partially in a solution.

This corrosion occurs due to existence of separate anodic and catholic part between which current
flows to the conducting solution. When there is acidic environment evolution of hydrogen gas takes
place. Thus this type of corrosion causes displacement of hydrogen ions from all acidic solution by
metal ions.

All metals above hydrogen in electrochemical cells have a tendency to get dissolved in acidic
solution with simultaneous evolution of hydrogen gas.

Daniel cell consist of Zinc electrode dipped in Zinc Sulphate solution (Oxidation takes place) and
Copper electrode dipped in Copper Sulphate solution (Where reduction takes place).

Daniel Cell can be represented as,

Zn / ZnSO 4 // CuSO4 / Cu

Zinc is present at higher stage in electrochemical series hence oxidation occurred at Zinc
electrode and Zinc get corrode.

pattern is called streamlines or viscous or laminar. The viscosity is increased by increasing molecular weight
and decrease by increasing the temperature.

with acetone and dried.

2) A sufficient volume of distilled water is introduced by pipette in bulb B so that the bent Portion of tube
and half or a little more than a half of bulb B is filled up.

3) Clamp the viscometer in quite vertical position.

C and allow it to flow under its own weight.
