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... |
