Chlorinity is a measure of the total concentration of halides (mainly chloride) in seawater.Principle:Titration of chloride ions in seawater with silver nitrate, forming a precipitate of silver chloride. Potassium chromate is used as an indicator, which turns red when all chloride has reacted and silver chromate begins to form. The volume of silver nitrate used corresponds to the chlorinity of the sample. Chlorinity is then converted to salinity using a standard formula. APHA(2017,ISBN:9780875532875).

Chlorinity in Water

A varied array of mathematical derivations from various titrimetric and colorimetric methods for analyzing water quality parameters were condensed and integrated for the better physicochemical analysis. It is indispensable for managing any aquatic ecosystem, including aquaculture facilities. By substituting titrant and spectrophotometric absorbance readings, accurate determination of the concentrations of critical parameters such as Dissolved Oxygen, Free Carbon Dioxide, Total Alkalinity, Water Hardness, Hydrogen Sulfide, Total Ammonia Nitrogen, Nitrite, Nitrate, Chlorinity, Salinity, Inorganic Phosphate, and Transparency can be facilitated APHA(2017,ISBN:9780875532875).

Arguments

Chlorinity is a measure of the total concentration of halides (mainly chloride) in seawater.

Principle:

Titration of chloride ions in seawater with silver nitrate, forming a precipitate of silver chloride. Potassium chromate is used as an indicator, which turns red when all chloride has reacted and silver chromate begins to form. The volume of silver nitrate used corresponds to the chlorinity of the sample. Chlorinity is then converted to salinity using a standard formula. APHA(2017,ISBN:9780875532875).
