Iron is one of the contaminants that gives a significant reddish brown color to the water
sources. In this experiment, the researchers tested the iron content of their water samples. From
the data obtained, the researchers can see that the iron content of the different water samples is
ranging from 0-400 mg/L. Therefore, the researchers can conclude that almost all of the water
samples contain large content of iron. From the experiment conducted, a little amount of the
titrant used causes a change in the color of the water sample turning it to light pink. This
From the data obtained, the researchers can recommend that for the next experiments,
they should carefully distinguish the light pink coloration for them to have a more accurate data.
The researchers also recommend that for the next experiments, the water samples can be freshly
1. Burette a long cylindrical tube used for titration. There are two types f burette: acid and base
burette.
2. Erlenmeyer Flask a triangular shape flask used for storage. In this experiment, it is where the
titrate is placed.
3. Wash bottle contain deionized water. used for washing the apparatus before they are used to
minimize contamination.
4. Pipette with rubber Pipetol used to measure the amount of the reagents used in the
experiment.
