What are the constituents responsible for the alkalinity of water?

Alkalinity measures the acid neutralizing capacity of the water. The main constituents that are responsible for this measurement are the acids, minerals, salts, and substances that are in the water. Acid rain and pollution are the two main contributors of these things.

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..
Why double indicator is used during the titration of water to find alkalinity of water sample?
A double indicator is used to find the alkalinity of the water sample to prevent errors.
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.
The strength of an acid is related to its?
extent of ionization in water. http://www.chemistryexplained.com/A-Ar/Acid-Base-Chemistry.html
How did alkalinity get into water?
In most cases it is from the minerals and salts in the water table and the substrate around in water body itself.
What salts responsible for alkalinity of water?
For example sodium carbonate is an alkaline salt.
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.
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..
If you have a good alkalinity with mains water what would lower it in a swimming pool with out the addition of chemicals.?
Add rain water this has very low alkalinity
You want to change the alkalinity of your hot tub water will muriatic acid be your best choice?
Muriatic acid is what is used to reduce alkalinity in water.
Why double indicator is used during the titration of water to find alkalinity of water sample?
A double indicator is used to find the alkalinity of the water sample to prevent errors.
What are the consequences of low alkalinity in boiler water?
corrosion problems because of the acidity as well as the other water treatments may not work if the alkalinity is out of target
Who are congress members primarily responsible to?
Their constituents* and their political party (mostly democrats or republicans)*Constituents are the people that members of Congress Represent.
What is total alkalinity?
Alkalinity of water is its acid-neutralizing capacity. It is the sum of all titratable bases. Because the alkalinity of many surface water is primarily a function of carbonate, bicarbonate and hydroxide content, it is taken as an indication of the concentration of these constituent.
What is alkilinity?
It's a common misspelling of "alkalinity", which is the resistance of water (often treated water or pool water) to change in pH levels. It's not inaccurate to think of "alkalinity" as 'pH stabilizer'.
What is the level of the p-alkalinity of the water?
Water has different alkalinities depending on where it's from and where it is.
How does the alkalinity affect a pond ecosystem?
water quality will be reduced
