Eriochrome Black T (EBT or Erio T) is an azo dye used as complexometric indicator in complexometric titrations, most common in determining water hardness.
Contents
Properties
Chemical
Buffered aqueous solutions of EBT turn red when calcium is added.
Physical
Eriochrome Black T is a dark purple-brown/black solid, soluble in water, but insoluble in most organic solvents. While it doesn't appear to dissolve in ethanol, EBT will turn it red if added.
In its protonated form, Eriochrome Black T is blue, but turns red when it forms a complex with calcium, magnesium, or other metal ions (like rare earth metals).
Availability
Can be purchased from chemical suppliers or online.
Preparation
Best to buy it than synthesize.
Projects
- Determine water hardness
- Detect rare-earth metals
Handling
Safety
Eriochrome Black T is irritant, but there doesn't appear to be very toxic or carcinogenic. Ingestion may lead to diarrhea.
Storage
In closed amber bottles, away from light and corrosive vapors.
Disposal
Can be strongly diluted and poured down the drain.
