1Acid-Base   Total Acidity NaOH – pH8.2 (Ph.)
                      Total Alkalinity HCl – pH4.3 (M.O.)
2Redox titration Sulphide, Sulphite
(Iodometric  I- ® I2)
3Complexiometric Hardness with EDTA
4Turbidimetric Sulphate with Ba2+
3. Ca2+ in water reacts with a known [EDTA].
4. The [SO42-] in water is determined by measuring the turbidity of water with a
turbidimeter (transmittance) – units NTU.
  (NTU = Normal Turbidity Units) 
• When [Ba2+] is added to SO42-(aq) ®BaSO4(s) a suspension forms, the turbidity increases until the equivalence point & then is stable.
