Experiment No. 2
To find out chemical oxygen demand of given waste
water sample.
APPARATUS :
1. Reflux apparatus
2. Hot plate/ heating mantle
3. Burette
4. Pipettes
PRINCIPLE:
The Organic matter present in sample gets oxidized completely by K2C12O7 in the presence of
the H2SO4 to produce CO2 and H2O. The excess K2C12O7remaining after the reaction is titrated
with Fe(NH4)(SO4)2. The dichromate consumed gives the O2 required to oxidation of the organic
matter.
