Alkalinity is the quantitative capacity of a water sample to
neutralize an acid to a set pH. This measurement is very
important in determining the corrosive characteristics of water
due primarily to hydroxide, carbonate and bicarbonate ions.
Other sources of alkalinity can be from anions that can be
hydrolyzed such as phosphate, silicate, borate, fluoride and
salts of some organic acids. Alkalinity is critical in the treat-

Total Alkalinity is determined by neutralizing the sample to
a pH of 4.5 using a dilute sulfuric acid solution and a
bromophenol blue indicator. This process converts hydroxide
ions to water, carbonate and bicarbonate ions to carbonic

Determination of Total Alkalinity
• Remove the cap from the plastic
Determination of Total Alkalinity
• Remove the cap from the plastic
vessel. Rinse the plastic vessel with
water sample, fill to the 5 mL
mark and replace the cap.
• Through the cap port, add 1 drop of Bromophenol Blue
Indicator and mix. If the solution is yellow, then it is
acidic and an acidity test must be carried out (see HI 3820
– Hanna Acidity Test Kit). If the solution is green or
blue, then proceed to next step.
• Take the syringe and push
the plunger completely down
into the syringe. Insert tip
into the HI 38014-0 Alka-
linity Reagent and pull the
plunger out until the lower
edge of the seal is on the
0.0 mL mark of the syringe.

• Place the syringe tip into the cap port of the plastic
vessel and slowly add the titration solution drop by
drop, swirling after each drop.
