Take 100 ml water sample in the conical flask of 250ml, add 2 drops of methyl orange indicator and use 0.1 mol/L NaOH standard solution for titration, until the solution turns to yellow from red, record NaOH consumption volume a;
The calculation of acidity is as follows:
a*c
Acidity= × 1000 mmol/L
V
Where:
a— volume of the consumed NaOH standard solution for tritration of acidity, mL.
c—showing the molar concentration of NaOH,mol/L.
V—showing the volume of the water sample,ml.
