Hardness of water is determined by titrating the water with a standard solution of ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid (EDTA), which is a complexing agent that can form multiple coordination bonds with metals in the water. The disodium salt of EDTA is used for this experiment since EDTA itself is insoluble in water. EDTA forms complexes with metals in the water to determine the hardness.
