Aim:

To determine the dosage of bleaching powder required for sterilization or disinfection of


different samples of water.

Requirements:
Burette, titration flask, 100ml graduated cylinder, 250ml measuring flask, weight box,
glazed tile, glass wool.

Chemicals required:
Bleaching Powder, Glass wool, 0.1 N Na2S2O3 solution, 10% KI solution, different samples
of water, starch solution.

Pre-Requisite Knowledge:
1. A known mass of the given sample of bleaching powder is dissolved in water to
prepare a solution of known concentration. This solution contains dissolved
chlorine, liberated by the action of bleaching powder with water.

CaOCl2 + H20 >> Ca(OH)2 + Cl2


2. The amount of Chlorine present in the above solution is determined by treating a
known volume of the above solution with excess of 10% potassium iodide solution,
when equivalent amount of Iodine is liberated. The Iodine, thus liberated is then
estimated by titrating it against a standard solution of Sodium thiosulphate, using
starch solution as indicator.

Cl2 + 2KI > 2KCl + I2

I2 + 2Na2S2O3 > Na2S4O6 + 2NaI


3. A known Volume of one of the given samples of water is treated with a known
volume of bleaching powder solution. The amount of residual chlorine is
determined by adding excess potassium iodide solution and then titrating against
standard sodium thiosulphate solution.

4. From the readings in 2 and 3, the amount of chlorine and hence bleaching powder
required for the disinfection of a given volume of the given sample of water can be
calculated.

Procedure:
1. Preparation of bleaching powder solution. Weigh accurately 2.5g of the given
sample of bleaching powder and transfer it to a 250ml conical flask. Add about
100-150ml of distilled water. Stopper the flask and shake it vigorously. The
suspension thus obtained is filtered through glass wool and filtrate is diluted with
water (in a measuring flask) to make the volume 250ml. The solution obtained is
1% bleaching powder solution.

2. Take 20ml of bleaching powder solution in a stoppered conical flask and add it to
20ml of 10% KI solution. Stopper the flask and shake it vigorously. Titrate this
solution against 0.1N Na2S2O3 solution taken in the burette. When the solution in the
conical flask becomes light yellow in color, add about 2ml starch solution. The
solution now becomes blue in color. Continue titrating till the blue color just
disappears. Repeat the titration to get a set of three concordant readings.

3. Take 100ml of the water sample in a 250ml stoppered conical flask and add it to
10ml of bleaching powder solution. Then add 20ml of KI solution and stopper the
flask. Shake vigorously and titrate against 0.1N Na2S2O3 solution using starch
solution as indicator as described in step 2.

4. Repeat the step 3 with other samples of water and record the observations.
