14-Add 1 drop of Calmagite Indicator and swirl to mix; if
magnesium is present, the solution will turn wine red.
15-Take the syringe and push the
plunger completely into the syringe.
Insert tip into the HI 38079B-0
EDTA Solution bottle and pull the
plunger out until the lower edge of
the seal is on the 0.0 mL mark of
the syringe.
16-Slowly add the
titration solution
drop by drop,
swirling after
each drop.
17-As the color changes from pink to purple, swirl for 15
seconds after each additional drop, until the solution
turns pure blue. Read off the milliliters of titration
solution from the syringe.
18-Calculate the mg/L (ppm) of Magnesium in your sample
as follows:
ppm of Mg = mL of titrant x 243
19-If your sample requires more than 1 mL of titrant to
turn pure blue, repeat the test from step 11 using, in
this case, 1 mL of filtered water sample, instead of 3
mL.
20-Follow then the instructions from step 12 to 17.
21-Calculate the mg/L (ppm) of Magnesium in your sample
as follows:
ppm of Mg = mL of titrant x 729
22-To convert the reading in mg/L of CaCO
3
, multiply the
ppm of magnesium by 4.114.
23-Rinse all labware with demineralized water after each
analysis and shake dry.
Note: High amounts of copper in your sample will alter the
final endpoint color. The solution will change from wine
red to purple without turning pure blue. In this case
add drops of titrant until no visible change in color is
obtained.
