Aim:-To Determine The Total Hardness in Given Sample of Water by EDTA Titration Method. Requirements: - Theory

This document provides instructions for determining total hardness in a water sample using EDTA titration. The sample is added to ammonia buffer and indicator, then titrated with standard EDTA solution until the color changes from wine red to blue, indicating the EDTA has reacted with all magnesium and calcium ions present. The volume of EDTA used is recorded and calculations are performed to determine the concentration of total hardness in mg/L as CaCO3.
