[. . . ] Instruction Manual SIGNIFICANCE AND USE Certain carbon dioxide levels are required in nature and in man's environment. Generally, lakes and rivers contain less than 10 mg/L * carbon dioxide, however stagnant or polluted water can generate large amounts due to organic or mineral decomposition. These results can make the water corrosive and toxic to aquatic life-forms like fish. [. . . ] · Add 1 drop of Phenolphtalein indicator through the cap port, and mix carefully swirling the vessel in tight circles. If the solution is pink or red, then record as 0 mg/L CO2. If the solution remains colorless, then proceed to next step. · Proceed with the test as described before. To obtain the result multiply the values on the syringe scale by 50. HI 3818 Carbon Dioxide Test Kit x 50 = CO 2 Determination in the 0 to 10 mg/L Carbon Dioxide If results are lower than 10 mg/L, the precision of the test can be improved as follows. · Remove the cap from the large plastic vessel. Rinse the plastic vessel with water sample, fill to the 50 mL mark and replace the cap. · Proceed with the test as described before. To obtain the result multiply the values on the syringe scale by 10. www. hannainst. com x 10 = CO 2 Dear Customer, Thank you for choosing a Hanna Product.

CHEMICAL REACTION Carbon dioxide (as carbonic acid) in the water sample is neutralized with a dilute sodium-hydroxide solution to a pH of 8. 3 using a phenolphthalein indicator. This process converts carbonic acid to sodium bicarbonate: CO 2 +H2O H 2CO 3+NaOH NaHCO3+H 20 SPECIFICATIONS 0 to 10 mg/L (ppm) CO2 0 to 50 mg/L (ppm) CO2 0 to 100 mg/L (ppm) CO2 Smallest Increment 0. 1 mg/L [in the 0-10 mg/L range] 0. 5 mg/L [in the 0-50 mg/L range] 1 mg/L [in the 0-100 mg/L range] Analysis Method Base titration using phenolphthalein indicator Sample Size 5 mL, 10 mL and 50 mL Number of Tests 110 (average) Case Dimensions 200x120x60 mm (7. 9x4. 7x2. 4") Shipping Weight 460 g (1 lb. ) Range · Take the titration syringe and push plunger completely into the syringe.
