Answers

1.

Chlorides are present in water as NaCl, MgCl 2 and CaCl 2.

2.

The chloride content in a water sample can be determined by Mohr's method.

3.

In Mohr's method, the given water sample is titrated against standard AgNO 3 solution using potassium chromate as an indicator.

4.

5.

Potassium chromate is used as indicator.

6.

For chloride ion determination, the water sample should be neutral or faintly alkaline because Ag 2CrO 4 is readily soluble in acidic medium.

7.

Argentometric method.

8.

The reaction should be carried out at pH 7 to 10.

9.

The titrations accompanied by the formation of sparingly soluble salts, when the...
