To this end take v1ml of Ca standard solution (6.3) and (v2-v1) ml of standard solution (6.1), where v1and v2are the volumes, in millilitres, of the EDTA solution used in the two titrations performed on
41、 the solution to be analysed. This procedure is correct only if the solutions of EDTA, calcium and magnesium are exactly equivalent. If this is not the case, it is necessary to make corrections.

The EDTA titration solution and the standard solutions will therefore be molar and not normal. BS EN 16198:2012EN 16198:2012 (E) 8 11.2 Complexometric indicators are often sensitive to air.
