Difference between phenolphthalein alkalinity and and total alkalinity?

phenolphthalein alkalinity is due to hydroxide n carbonate salts in water...nd total alkalinity is mainly due to bicarbonate salts in water..


How do you measure for acidity or alkalinity?

acidity or alkalinity is a measure of the relative amount of H+ and OH- ions dissolved in a solution


What does the mean of m alkalinity and p alkalinity in boiler water?

1. M-Alkalinity (also known as Total Alkalinity) measures the amount of carbonate, bicarbonate and hydroxide present in terms of "ppm as calcium carbonate". ( M-Alkalinity measurement is based on a sulphuric acid titration using a Methyl orange indicator that goes from yellow at a pH of 4.5 to orange at pH of 4.4 at the endpoint.) 2. P-Alkalinity measures the amount of carbonate and hydroxyl alkalinity present in terms of "ppm as calcium carbonate". P-alkalinity is measured down to a pH of 8.3. The M-alkalinity is measured down to a pH of 4.3.


How do you raise the pH level in the pool?

there are two primary chemicals on the merket used to do this. 1.) soda ash usually packaged under the name pH rise or pH increaser. 2.)sodium bicarbonate usually packaged under the name alkalinity rise or alkalinity increaser. both of the above chemicals will increase both the pH and Alkalinity of the swimming pool water. always make sure your alkalinity is balanced before making any pH adjustment. it is also important to understand pH and alkalinity always move together and in the same direction. so a pH adjustment will cause a change in your alkalinity level the same way a alkalinity adjustment will cause a change in your pH. when you increase pH, alkalinity will also increase when you decrease pH, alkalinity will also decrease when you raise alkalinity, pH will also rise. always dose chemicals according to the directions on the chemical container and the volume of water you are treating.

What is different between hardness and alkalinity?

There exist three species of alkalinity; bicarbonate, carbonate and hydroxide. The concentration of each species will vary with pH. Total alkalinity is the measurement of all species of alkalinity in the water. The concentration of each of the three species can be determined by titrating a water sample with acid of a known concentration and using chemical indicators, phenolphthalein (P indicator),methyl orange (M indicator), or a pH meter to determine "endpoints". The chemical indicators change color at a certain pH points(the endpoint). The mix of alkaline species change as pH decreases. Hydroxide alkalinity disappears below pH 10.3, carbonate below 8.3 and bicarbonate below 4.3 (or thereabout). The P indicator turns from pink to clear at or below pH 8.3 The M indicator turns from orange to yellow below pH 4.3. The amount of acid required to produce a color change is used to calculate the amount of P and M alkalinity. The P and M results are use to calculate "O" or hydroxide alkalinity. Depending on the ionic constituents of the water, these relationships can change or be interfered with.


What is active alkalinity?

Alkalinity is divided into two main parts, active and inactive. Active alkalinity titrates to a pH of 8.4 and is responsible for the cleaning action of alkaline products.


How do you calculation standard deviation of concrete cubes?

You cannot calculate standard deviation for objects such as concrete cubes - you can only calculate standard deviation for some measure - such as side length, surface area, volume, mass, alkalinity or some other measure.


What is alkalinity value?

The word alkalinity is defined by the ability that any substance has at neutralizing when it is mixed with an acid.


What does alkalinty mean?

You mean alkalinity? Alkalinity measures the ability of a solution to neutralize acids to the equivalence point of carbonate or bicarbonate. The alkalinity is equal to the stoichiometric sum of the bases in solution.


Is alkalinity dangerous for humans in swimming pools?

Alkalinity is not an actual "chemical", however if you are concerned about increasing the alkalinity in your swimming pool, you are perfectly safe. The chemical that increases "total alkalinity" in a swimming pool, is only baking soda. It wil not harm the human body!


What does raising the alkalinity and pH do for a pool?

Alkalinity readings for your pool is quite essential. When you increase your alkalinity, that makes it so your pH is more resistant to change due to weather, leaves etc


How do you raise alkalinity level in pools?

buy adding Bicarbonate Soda commonly sold as Alc + or Alkalinity Control
