Determination of sodium from irrigation water sample.

Aim 
Determination of sodium from irrigation water sample.
 
Principle 
Small amount of sodium are generally present in the best quality of irrigation water. Sodium constitutes about 50% or more of total cations of saline and sodic water. 
The content of sodium maybe quite Hagi in saline water and containing relatively less amount of calcium and magnesium at Higher level of sodium it also exerts a toxic effect on the plant growth. Therfore determination of sodium in irrigation water is very important for predicting for the harmful effect On soil and crops and judging the suitability of water for irrigation. 
The Determination Sodium Potassium is carried out directly with help of flame photometer using appropriate filter and standard curve prepared by taking known concentration of sodium. 

Reagents -
1) Std. Sodium solutions (stock solution) -

Dissolve 5.845 gram of sodium chloride(AR) in distilled water and make up the volume with 1 litre with distilled water.
 This gives hundred Milli equivalent per litre stock solutions of sodium. 

Standard curve of sodium. -
From stock solution 0,1,2,3,4,5ml solutions in diluted to 1000ml. This solution would contain 0,  0.1, 0.2 ,0.3, 0.4, 0.5 Milli equivalent sodium per litre respectively. A curve is drawn by plotting flame Photometer reading on Y axis & concentration of sodium on X axis 

Procedure -
Automize the irrigation water sample into the Flame Photometer & record the reading. 

Draw graph factor. 

Calculation. -
Sodium of water extract =
Graph factor (m. Eq. /lit.) × flame Photometer reading. 

Result -
The given sodium of water extract is --------m. Eq. / lit.

ORGANIC CARBON IN SOIL - DETERMINATION BY WALKLEY & BLACK METHOD.

TITLE :- Determination of organic carbon in soil by walkley & black method.  Principle -   The organic carbon in organic matter is oxidised by known excess of chromic acid .(K2 cr2 O7 + H2 s o4). The excess acid chromic acid not reduced by organic matter is determined by Black titration which standard feso4 solution (redox titration) using ferroin indicator. the organic in soil calculated from the chromic acid utilised (reduced by it) Reagent  Potassium dichromate solutions,  Dissolve 49.04gm of dried reagents grade potassium dichromate, K2cr2O7 in distilled water & dilute it to one liter.  Ferrous sulphate solutions 0.5N Dissolve 139gm of reagent grade ferrous sulphate feso4. 7H2o in distilled  water and add 15ml of concentrated H2so4 cool and dilute to one litters or dissolve 196.19gm ferrous  ammonium sulphate feso4(NH4)so4.6H2o and making up-to one litters standardized the solution against potassium add 20 ml concentrated H2so4, before...

Determination of calcium and magnesium from irrigation water sample.

Title -  of calcium and magnesium from irrigation water sample.  Principles - Sodium EDTA forms complex, A stronger Complex with calcium and magnesium in alkaline buffer medium of pH is 10 using EBT indicator. At the end of reaction the colour of indicator changes from wine red to blue or blueish green.  Reagents  1) Buffer solutions - Add 67.5 gm pure ammonium chloride in 570 ml concentrated ammonium Hydroxide and make up the volume to 1 litre with distilled water. 2) Erichrome black T indicators. - Weight 0.5 gram of EBT di* and 4.5 gram hydroxylamine hydrochloride(NH2oH.Hcl) and dissolved both in hundred ml of Ethylene alcohol.  3)EDTA Solution - 0.01N  Weight 2 gram disodium salt of EDTA and dissolved in distilled water and make up volume of 1 litre with distilled water. 4) Potassium ferrocyanide - Dissolve 4 gram potassium ferricyanide in hundred ml distilled water.  5) Triethanolamine - TEA Indicator reagent grade.  6) Hydroxylamine hydrocho...

CALCIUM CARBONATE (caco3) - DETERMINATION

TITLE-  DETERMINATION OF CALCIUM CARBONATE (Caco3) of soil.  Principle  The soil is titrate  with known extended of standards hydrochloric acid to neutralize all carbonate and excess Hcl acid is back titrate with NaoH using phenolphthalein indicator . The calcium carbonate equivalent is calculate by the volume of standard Hcl required for neutralization. RAPID TITRATION METHOD -  REAGENT  0.5 N Hcl :dissolve 44.5ml Hcl in 1L of water.  0.25 N NaoH:dissolved 10gm NaoH in 1 L of water.  Phenolphthalein indicator.  PROCEDURE  Take 5gm soil in 250 ml conical flask.  Add 100 ml 0.5 N Hcl. Stir & keep for 1 hours.  Allow it to settle  & filter.  Take 10 ml filtrate into another conical flask.  Add 3 to 5 drops of phenolphthalein Indicators.  Titrate it against of 0.25 N NaoH still the color changes to pink. (A) note reading.  Run the blank. (B) note reading.  OBSERVATION  B - blank sample re...
