Abstract
A spectrophotometric titration was performed to determine water hardness. The titration incorporated the traditional titration method employing EDTA as the titrant and calmagite as the indicator. The microscale experiment was carried out in a spectrometer cuvette and made use of a Texas Instruments (TI-83) calculator interfaced through a TI Calculator-Based Laboratory system to a Vernier colorimeter as the detector. Monitoring at 635 nm, one of the colorimeter's fixed wavelengths, was well suited for this analysis. Agreement was found with results from traditional titrations.
