- iii) Add few specs of reagent A powder.
- iv) Add reagent D-5 with gentle shake after each drop, until color changes from PINK to BLUE. Count the no. of drops of reagent D-5 required for color change. Calculate total harness (as caco3) as follows.
- v) In case reagent D-5 in used,(one drop=5ppm).
- vi) In case reagent D-1 is used, (one drop =1ppm).
