TESTS Assay (By complexometric titration of calcium). Weigh accurately about 2.5 g in a 250 mL beaker. Dissolve in 100 mL of water, and add 5 mL of 10% hydrochloric acid. Transfer to a 250 mL volumetric flask, dilute to the mark with water, and mix. Pipette 50.0 mL of the sample solution to a 400 mL beaker, add 75 mL of water, and add while stirring 20 mL of 0.1 M EDTA from a 50 mL burette. Adjust the pH using a pH meter to above 12 with 10% sodium hydroxide reagent solution. Add 300 mg of

hydroxynaphthol blue indicator mixture and continue the titration immediately with 0.1 M EDTA volumetric solution to a blue color. One milliliter of 0.1 M EDTA corresponds to 0.0111 g of CaCl2.

Titrable Base Dissolve 5.0 g in 50 mL of water, and add 0.10 mL of phenolphthalein indicator solution. If any pink color is produced, it should be discharged by not more than 3.0 mL of 0.01 N hydrochloric acid.
