Dps. Rathore et al., INDICATOR FOR THE TITRIMETRIC DETERMINATION OF CALCIUM AND TOTAL CALCIUM PLUS MAGNESIUM WITH ETHYLENEDIAMINETETRAACETATE IN WATER, Analytica chimica acta, 281(1), 1993, pp. 173-177
The use of 2-[(4-phenylthioacetic acid)azo]-1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene-3
,6-disulphonic acid as an indicator for the titrimetric determination
of both calcium and total calcium plus magnesium is reported. The vari
ables affecting the colour change at the end-point were optimized. The
method is free from most metal interferences without the need for pot
assium cyanide and other masking agents. The method was applied to wat
er samples and the results obtained compared favourably with those giv
en by standard methods.
