Summary of Method
The colorimetric method for measuring hardness supplements the
conventional titrimetric method because it can measure very low
levels of calcium and magnesium. Also some interfering metals
(those listed above) in the titrimetric method are inconsequential
in the colorimetric method when diluting the sample to bring it
within the range of this test.
The indicator dye, calmagite, forms a purplish-blue color in a
strongly alkaline solution and changes to red when it reacts with
free calcium or magnesium. Calcium is chelated with EGTA to
destroy any red color due to calcium and then the sample is
chelated with EDTA to destroy the red color due to both calcium
and magnesium. Measuring the red color in the different stages of
chelation gives results as the calcium and magnesium hardness
concentrations.
