    This document outlines a procedure to determine the amount of chloride in a water sample using Mohr's method of titration with silver nitrate solution. Silver nitrate is used to precipitate chlorides as silver chloride. Potassium chromate is added as an indicator, turning reddish brown at the endpoint when silver chromate precipitates. The sample is titrated against a standard silver nitrate solution and the volume used is noted. A blank titration is also run with distilled water. The chloride concentration is then calculated based on the titration volumes, normality of silver nitrate, and molecular weight of chlorides.

    5. CHLORIDES

    AIM:

    To determine the amount of chloride (in the form of Cl-) present in the given water sample by
    Mohr’s method.

    PRINCIPLE:

    If a water-containing chloride is titrated with silver nitrate solution, chlorides are precipitated
    as white silver chloride. Potassium chromate is used as indicator, which supplies chromate
    ions. As the concentration of chloride ions approaches extinction, silver ion concentration
    increases to a level at which reddish brown precipitate of silver chromate is formed indicating
    the end point.

    APPARATUS:
    1. Burette
    2. Pipettes
    3. Erlenmeyer’s flask
    4. Measuring cyclinder
    REAGENTS:
    1. Chloride free distilled water
    2. Standard silver nitrate solution (0.0141 N)
    3. Acid or alkali for adjusting pH
    PROCEDURE:

    1. Take 20 mL of sample (V) and dilute to 40 Ml.

    2. Add 1 mL potassium chromate indicator solution.

    3. Titrate the solution against standard silver nitrate solution until a pinkish yellow colour is
    obtained. Note down the volume ,V1.

    4. Take 20 ml distilled water, repeat steps 2and 3 and note down the volume V2 (blank )
    OBSERVATIONS AND CALCULATIONS:

    Sl. NO Volume of sample, Burette reading Volume of


    V mL silver nitrate
    in mL
    mL
    Intial reading Final reading

    V = volume in ml of the sample taken for test,

    V1 = volume in ml of titrant used for sample

    V2 = volume in ml of titrant used for blank

    N = normality of siver nitrate solution;

    Chloride = (V1 – V2 ) * N * 35.46 * 1000 =

    RESULT:

    The amount of chloride present in given sample =

    DISCUSSION:

    Chloride in natural waters can be attributed to leaching of chlorides containing rocks and
    soils. Discharge of effluents from chemical industries, ice-cream plant effluents, edible oil-
    mill operation, sewage disposal, irrigation drainage, contamination from refuse leaches and
    sea water intrusion in coastal region etc. form sources for excess choride content in water
    bodies. When chloride concentration of 250 mg/L as CaCO3 is present along with Na+, a salty
    taste can be observed. Chlorides can corrode metals and affect the taste of food products.
