Estimation of Chloride Hardness in Drinking Water in University of Education, Vehari Campus, Vehari, Punjab, Pakistan

Abstract

Fazal-ur-Rehman M and Hafiz Zeshan Haider

The drinking water in University of Education Vehari (UEV) was analyzed to monitor its Chloride hardness. This project was performed in chemistry Lab of UEV. The chemical/analytical test used to analyze the water Chloride hardness was Argentometric Titration or Mohr Method of analysis. In this test, a water sample was tested properly in chemistry lab. From the results, the molarity of Chloride content was calculated. The molarity of resulted Chloride was 0.0133, showing the most hardness of water. It is declared that due to hardness of Chloride amounts in drinking water, the water of university is unfit for drinking. This concentration of Chloride ions in very small water sample is too much. In normal, we daily intake 6-8 glasses of water which means 800-1000 ml or 1 L daily. If we calculate this concentration for 1 L, it will be most dangerous especially for human health. Chloride hardness causes various typical issues, for example, evaporator scaling, washing, spots on sink, sturdiness of hair and skin. It is also said that hard water causes diverse therapeutic problems; for example, urolithiasis, cardiovascular confusion, kidney problems, anencephaly. It can cause most of stomach diseases in humans. So, authors recommended using this water after boiling, filtration or chlorination of water.
