After the completion of all your respective VIVA, share

the questions here.

1. What is mean by standard solution?

Ans:- the standard solution is the one whose strength is known.

2. which meniscus is read in case of coloured solutions taken in a burette?

Ans:- upper meniscus.

3. name the most important complexing agent employed into complexometric

titration?

Ans:- EDTA (Ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid)

4. What form of EDTA is used in titrimetric analysis?

Ans:- Disodium salt of EDTA b/c of purest form.

5. Name the most widely used indicator in EDTA titration?

Ans:- EBT (Eriochrome black T).

6. What is the colour changed at the end point in EDTA Titration?

Ans:- Wine red to blue.

7. What is hardness? Unit of hardness?

Ans:- The simple definition of water hardness is the amount of dissolved calcium and
magnesium in the water.It is expressed in ppm.
8. How do we remove temporary and permanent hardness?

Ans:- temporary hardness is removed by boiling carbon & bicarbonate of ca &

mg.Ions causing permanent hardness of water can be removed using a water softener, or ion
exchange column

9. What is meant by iodometric titration?

Ans:- iodometric titration, is a method of volumetric chemical analysis, a redox titration where the
appearance or disappearance of elementary iodine indicates the end point.

10. which indicator is used for iodometric titration what is the colour change

At the end point.

Ans:- starch indicator

Colour change :- Blue to colourless.

11. full form of hypo solution?

Ans:- sodium thio-sulphate or sodium hypo-sulfite (Na2s203)

12. What is the formula for Bleaching powder?

Ans:- Bleaching powder (CaoCl2), it is also known as Calcium hypochlorite.

13. What are the permissible limits of Do?

Ans:- permissible limit, At 30 degree c 7.5 – 8 ppm

At 0 degree c 14.5 ppm.

14. what is the type of alkalinity?

Ans:- there are 5 types of alkalinity carbonate(CO3-),

Hydroxide(OH-), Bicarbonate(HCO3-)

carbonate & Bicarbonate, hydroxide & carbonate.

15. which indicator we used in alkalinity?

Ans:- phenolphthalein indicator and Methyl Orange

16. what is surface tension?

Ans:- is the force acting per cm along the surface of the liquid at right angle to
any unit on the surface of liquid is any direction.

CGS: dyne/cm MKS: N/m

17. what is the nature of graph in verification of Lambert`s beer law ?

Ans:- straight line passing through the origin {Absorbance vs

concentration}

A= eo*c*l

18. monomers of bakelite?

Ans:- phenol and formaldehyde.

19. what is cell constant? What is the unit of cell constant?

Ans:- The cell constant is defined as the ratio of distance between the
electrodes which is divided by the area of the cross-sectional of the electrode,
unit of cell constant is k.

20. why we add starch nearer to the end point in iodometric titration?

Ans:- The Starch-Iodide complex is not very soluble in water, so the : sodium

21. what are the precipitates formed after boiling during removal of temporary
hardness
solid calcium carbonate or solid magnesium hydroxide.
22. Convert ppm to mg/L

For water, 1 ppm = approximately 1 mg/L

23.What is titration ?

Titration is a common laboratory method of quantitative chemical analysis in which a solution of

unknown concentration is reacted with a solution of a known concentration in order to find
out its concentration.

24.What are the precipitates formed after boiling during the removal of temporary hardness ?

The resulting salts CaCO3 and Mg(OH)2 do not dissolve in water and form precipitates.

25.How is complex formed ?

Complex is formed between a central metal ion and one or more surrounding ligands,
molecules or ions that contain at least one lone pair of electrons.

26.Ph of Methyl Orange and Phenolphthalein ?

Methyl orange : 3.1-4.4

Phenolphthalein : 8.2 - 10.0

27.Indicator used in Dissolved oxygen ?

Starch indicator

28. what is buffer soln?

A buffer solution (more precisely, pH buffer or hydrogen ion buffer) is an aqueous

solution consisting of a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base, or vice versa.

29. What is normality(N) ?

It is define as no. of gram equivalent of solute per litre of solution.

30. What is molarity?

It is defined as no. of gram mole of solute dissolved per litre of solution.

31What is molality?

It is defined as no. of gram mole of solute dissolved in 100 gm (1 kg) of solvent.

32how the complex ion forms?

When a ligand forms a coordinate bond with a metal ion i.e central atom

33. Which experiment is demonstration experiment?
