Eriochrome Extra Pure—typically referring to Eriochrome Black T—is a complexometric indicator primarily used in EDTA titrations to detect metal ions, especially calcium (Ca²⁺) and magnesium (Mg²⁺) in water hardness analysis. In its extra pure grade, this dye ensures sharp, precise endpoint detection by minimizing impurities that could cause background coloration or interferences in spectrophotometric or volumetric determinations. It functions by forming a wine-red complex with metal ions, which turns blue when the metal is sequestered by EDTA. Suitable for high-precision analytical chemistry, it should be stored away from light and moisture to preserve stability.
Eriochrome Extra Pure
Primary Uses
- Complexometric indicator in EDTA titrations:
Used mainly for determining water hardness by detecting calcium and magnesium ions through color change. - Metal ion detection in solution:
Forms colored complexes with metal ions, aiding in qualitative and quantitative analysis. - pH-sensitive indicator in metal-ligand equilibria studies:
Its color shift helps determine end points in chelation reactions.
Secondary Uses
- Teaching and demonstration of coordination chemistry:
Commonly used in academic labs to illustrate complexation and titration techniques. - Indicator in soil and environmental testing:
Helps estimate divalent metal ion content in environmental water or soil extracts. - Analytical quality control in industrial water treatment labs:
Used to ensure appropriate levels of calcium and magnesium in treated water.
