 CERTIFICATE
This is to certify that Monika Jain is the student of
Class XII in the year 2010-11, in this institution.
Maharishi Vidya Mandir, has completely investigated
his project on
“To determine the dosage of bleaching powder required
for disinfections of different samples of water” and has given
a satisfactory account of it.
During his work we found him sincere and
hardworking.
We Wish him success.

 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
I am extremely obliged to Dr. Vinod Kumar Saini
(PGT, Chemistry) for his kind control, supervision and his
great help without which this project wouldn’t be where it is.
He also accompanied me the project in time.
I acknowledge his guidance and thank him for being so
helpful.

PROCERDURE
1. Preparation of bleaching powder solution. Weigh
accurately 2.5g of the given sample of bleaching powder
and transfer it to a 250ml conical flask. Add about 100-150
ml of distilled water. Stopper the flask and shake it
vigorously. The suspension thus obtained is filtered through
glass wool and the filtrate is diluted with water to make the
volume 250ml. The solution obtained is 1% bleaching
powder solution.
2. Take 20 ml of bleaching powder solution in a stoppered
conical flask and add to it 20nk if 10% KI Solution.
Stopper the flask and shake it Vigiriyskt. Titrate the
solution against N/10 Sodium thiosulphate solution taken in
the burette. When the solution in the conical flask becomes
light yellow in colour, add about 2ml of starch solution.
The solution now becomes blue in colour. Continue
;titrationg till the blue colour just disappears. Repeat the
titration to get a set of three concordant readings.
3. Take 100 ml of the water sample in a 250ml stoppered
conical flask and add to it 10 ml of bleaching powder
solution. Then add 20ml of KI solution and stopper the
flask. Shake vigorously and titrate against N/10 Sodium
thiosu;pjhate solution using starch solution as indicator as
described in step 2.
4. Repeat the steop 3 with other samples of water and record
the observation.
THEORY
1. A Known mass of the given sample of bleaching powder is
dissolved in water to prepare a solution of known concentration.
This solution contains dissolved chlorine, liberated by the action of
bleaching powder with water.

2. The amount of chlorine present in the above solution is determined

by treating a known volume of the above solution with excess of
10% potassium iodide solution, when equivalent amount of iodine
is liberated. The iodine, thus liberated is then estimated by titrating
it against a standard solution of sodium thiosulphate, using starch
solution as indicator.

3. A Known volume of one of thd given samples of water is

treated with a known volume of bleaching powder solution.
Adding excess potassium iodide solution and then titrating
against standard sodium thiosulphate solution determine the
amount of residual chlorine.
4. From the readings in 2 and 3, the amount of chlorine and
hence bleaching powder required for the disinfection of a
given volume of the given sample of water can be
calculated.
 OBSERVATIONS:-

CALCULATION
Amount of bleaching powder used to disinfect 100 ml of
water sample- solution.
Now 1 ml of bleaching powder sol. Contains bleaching
powder = 2.5/250=0.1 g.
10 ml of bleaching powder sol =
bleaching powder solution
Volume of bleaching powder solution require to disinfect 100
ml of water sample-
of bleaching powder solution= (V1-V2)10/V1x
0.1g
Amount of bleaching powder solution require to disinfect 1
litere of water sample

=2.2-2.0/2.2
=0.090g
Amount of bleaching powder solution require to disinfect 1
