CALCULATION OF FORMALDEHYDE CONCENTRATION
C
c o l e d
Un l
The formaldehyde equivalent Fe is given by the formula:
t r o y
Fe= ( (N) I ) x 0.15 mg.
o n o p .01
c C
Un d
Where (N) I is the normality of the standardized iodine. This formula is based on the fact that the
l e
equivalent weight of formaldehyde is 15 gm., which means that 1 ml. of 0.01N iodine is
l
equivalent to 0.15 mg. of formaldehyde.
t r o o p y
c o n C
The amount of formaldehyde in the sample volume collected is given by the formula:
d
U n l le Fc = final buret reading - initial buret reading x Femg
tr o y
Fc = total ml. .01 iodine used x 0.15 mg
o n o p
c d C
Un
Formaldehyde concentration in ppm is given by the following formula:
l l e
y
x 103
o
ppm = Fc x 24.45 x 760 x T+273
t r o p V MW P 298
o n Where:
d C
c l e
V = volume of sample collected (30 lpm)
Un l
MW = molecular weight formaldehyde (30.03 g/mole)
tr o
P = pressure in mm of mercury in the lab
y
T = temperature in EC of the lab
o n o p
Assuming that T is equal to 25EC and p is equal to 760 mm mercury, the ppm formula simplifies
to:
c C
Un l ed
HCHO (ppm) = Fc x 27.14 assuming volume of sample collected 30 liters
l
t r o o py
