The Ammonia Buffer Solution is a prepared laboratory reagent specifically formulated for use in the determination of water hardness (calcium and magnesium ions) by complexometric titration with EDTA. This buffer solution maintains the solution at the appropriate alkaline pH (around 10), ensuring the correct conditions for accurate and reproducible complex formation between metal ions and EDTA.
Key Features
- Ready-to-use buffer solution for water hardness determination.
- Provides stable alkaline pH (~10) required for EDTA titrations.
- Ensures accurate complexometric determination of Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺.
- Supplied in 2.5 L laboratory-grade containers.
- Suitable for use in water quality testing, environmental monitoring, and analytical laboratories.
