ASSAY OF CALCIUM CARBONATE

Reagent required:
Dilute hydrochloric acid
0.05M Disodium Edetate
Sodium hydroxide solution

Calcon mixture
Procedure:
Weight accurately about 0.1 g and dissolve in 3 ml of dilute hydrochloric acid and 10 ml of water. Boil for 10 minutes, cool, dilute to 50 ml with water. Titrate with 0.05M Disodium Edetate to within a few ml of the expected end-point, add 8 ml of sodium hydroxide solution and 0.1 g of calcon mixture and continue the titration until the colour of the solution changes from pink to a full blue colour. Each ml of 0.05M Disodium Edetate is equivalent to 0.005004 g of CaCO3.
Calculation:
V x M x F                   100
%Assay =     ---------------------  x  ----------------
                                0.05 x W               (100-LOD)
Where,
V = Blank reading- Sample reading
M = Molarity of 0.05M Disodium Edetate
F = Factor

W = Weight of sample
