Procedure for

Testing Chloride
Ions
PRESENTED BY: M. KHURRM RASHEED
Materials Required

 - Silver nitrate (AgNO₃) solution (0.0141 M)


 - Potassium chromate (K₂CrO₄) solution (5% w/v)
 - Burette, stand, and conical flask
 - Measuring cylinder and pipette
 - Distilled water
 - Water samples
Simple Procedure

 1. Collect and filter water samples.


 2. Rinse and fill the burette with silver nitrate.
 3. Pipette 25.0 mL of the sample into a conical
flask.
 4. Add 2-3 drops of potassium chromate
(indicator).
 5. Titrate with silver nitrate until the solution turns
reddish-brown.
 6. Record the volume of silver nitrate used.
Calculation

 Use the formula:


 Chloride (mg/L) = [(Volume of AgNO₃ (mL) ×
Mᴀɢɴᴏ₃ × 35.45) / 25.0] × 1000

 Example: If 12.5 mL of AgNO₃ is used:


 Chloride (mg/L) = [(12.5 × 0.0141 × 35.45) /
25.0] × 1000 = 249.9 mg/L
Precautions

 - Use clean glassware to avoid contamination.


 - Perform multiple titrations for accurate results.
 - Avoid over-titration and record observations
carefully.
Conclusion

 - Chloride concentration reflects water quality.


 - Mohr's Method provides reliable results.
 - Regular testing ensures environmental and
public health safety.
