Method ID: HI1004EN
Alkalinity of Water
0-2500 mg/L CaCO
3
, pH 4.5 Endpoint
Titrator Application Methods: General Methods - r. 2.3
Description:
Method for the determination of Total (Methyl Red)
Alkalinity in water by titration of a sample to pH 4.5.
The results are expressed in mg/L (ppm) as
Calcium Carbonate.
For the determination of Phenolphthalein Alkalinity,
set the endpoint to pH 8.3.

Electrode:
HI 1131B Combination pH Electrode
HI 7662-T Temperature Probe
Reagents:
HI 70463 0.1N Hydrochloric Acid solution (1 L)
HI 70436 Distilled Water (1 gal)
Accessories:
HI 70300L Storage Solution (500 mL)
HI 7071 Electrode Fill Solution (4*30 mL)
HI 7004 pH 4.01 buffer solution (500 mL)
HI 7007 pH 7.01 buffer solution (500 mL)
HI 7010 pH 10.01 buffer solution (500 mL)
HI 740036P 100-mL Plastic Beakers (10 pcs)
50-mL Class-A Volumetric Pipette
Procedure:
Connect the pH electrode and temperature probe
to the titrator.
Calibrate the electrode using pH 4.01, pH 7.01
and pH 10.01 buffer. Refer to the instruction
manual for calibration procedure.
Press “Select Method” from the main screen. Use
the arrow keys to highlight „HI1004EN Alkalinity of
Water‟ and press “Select”.
Install a 25-mL burette with 0.1N hydrochloric acid
solution (HI 70463) on pump-one and verify that
no air bubbles are present in the burette or tubing.
If necessary prime the burette until all air has
been removed.
For the determination of the exact concentration of
the hydrochloric acid follow, HI0002EN 0.1N
Hydrochloric Acid Titrant Concentration.
Use a class-A volumetric pipette to transfer
exactly 50.00 mL of sample to a clean 100-mL
plastic beaker.
Place the beaker under the stirrer assembly and
immerse the pH electrode, temperature probe and
stirrer. Ensure that the reference junction of the
pH probe is 5-6 mm below the surface.
Press “Start”. The titrator will begin the analysis.
At the end of titration, when pH 4.50 is reached,
„titration completed‟ will appear with the alkalinity
concentration. The result is expressed in mg/L of
calcium carbonate.
Remove the electrodes and stirrer from the
sample and rinse them thoroughly with distilled
water.
Record the result.
