98.4 ml of Methanol + 0.3 ml Ammonium Hydroxide + 0.4 ml EBT + 0.8 ml Water.
Some NaCl needs to be added to make the indicator more stable but I am not aware of the proportions. As far as I know the formula above should suffice.
What does the T stand for in Eriochrome Black T.
No, Eriochrome Black T and Solochrome Black T are different dyes used for spectrophotometric titrations. They have similar structures and applications but differ in composition and properties. Eriochrome Black T is primarily used as an indicator in complexometric titrations, while Solochrome Black T is commonly employed in the determination of metals.
The "T" in Eriochrome Black T stands for the word "Tetrasodium," indicating that this compound contains four sodium atoms in its structure. Eriochrome Black T is a complexometric indicator commonly used in analytical chemistry for the determination of metal ions.
Eriochrome Black T is a common indicator used in EDTA titrations, not Echnrome Blue Black T. Eriochrome Black T changes color from blue to magenta when it binds to the metal ions being titrated with EDTA, indicating the endpoint of the titration.
Eriochrome black T acts as an indicator by forming complex ions with metal ions such as calcium, magnesium, and zinc. It changes color from blue to wine-red in the presence of these metal ions, allowing for visual detection of the endpoint in complexometric titrations.
The indicator commonly used in EDTA titrations is Eriochrome Black T. It changes color from wine-red to blue when transitioning from calcium ions to magnesium ions, helping to detect the endpoint of the titration accurately.
Hydroxylamine hydrochloride is added in the preparation of Eriochrome Black T indicator to reduce the dye to its colored form. This reduction step is essential to activate the indicator dye and make it suitable for use in complexometric titrations, where it will form a colored complex with metal ions.
Eriochrome black T can form colored complexes with metal ions other than the one being titrated, leading to interfering color changes. It may also not be suitable for titrations at very low or high pH values. Additionally, it is less stable compared to some other complexometric indicators.
EBT, or Eriochrome Black T, is named for its chemical structure and its application in analytical chemistry. The "Eriochrome" prefix comes from the Greek word "erio," meaning "to dye," indicating its use as a dye, while "Black T" refers to its dark color and the "T" likely denotes its specific form or variant. This compound is widely used as an indicator in complexometric titrations, particularly for detecting metal ions like calcium and magnesium. Its ability to change color in the presence of these ions makes it valuable in various chemical analyses.

phosphoric acid can be tested by titrating a a given sample of soft drinks with diethyle ether in the presence of eriochrome black t as a indicator...
The indicator added to the sample is Eriochrome Black T. Initially, the indicator will form a complex with the cations. When complexed it is red in color. As the EDTA is added dropwise to the sample, it replaces the Erio T and forms more stable complexes with calcium and magnesium. When the indicator is released by the metal ions, it has a distinct blue color. Therefore, the endpoint of the titration is marked by the color change form red to blue
