reddish-violet.
5.4.4.14 The above procedure is for sample
titration and similarly performs the blank titration without using sample.
5.4.4.15 Note down the volume used as shown in
Annexure-1.

5.4.4.17 Calculate percentage purity.
5.4.4.18 Calculations:
5.4.4.18.1 After taking average volume of both blank
titration and sample titration. Calculate the volume used by the examined
substance by using formula:
Volume
used by substance = Blank titration - Sample titration.
5.4.4.18.2 For percentage purity use formula:
%age
purity = volume used by substance x factor x 100
Weight of
sample
5.4.4.18.3 Put values and calculate %age purity.
5.4.5
Factor:
5.4.5.1 1ml of 0.1M sodium edetate is equivalent
