  1. Real World: Calcium in Milk By: Chealsa Mooney and Christina Robinson

  2. Purpose • To determine how much calcium was in different types of milk and comparing them to their known values. • Using two different types of indicators and comparing the results they produce.

  3. Procedure One Calmagite Indicator • Weighed out EDTA, dissolved in 1000mL. Resulted in 0.0361M EDTA solution • Created ammonia buffer • In 250mL Erlenmeyer flask put 50mL of milk, 3mL ammonia buffer and small amount of calmagite indicator. • Titrated with EDTA solution.

  4. Titration set up with Calmagite Indicator:

  5. Procedure Two Patton-Reeder • Used same solution of EDTA. • In 250mL Erlenmeyer flask put 10mL of milk, 40mL distilled water, and 4mL of 8M NaOH. • Allowed solution to sit for 5 minutes for precipitate to form. • Added 0.05g of Patton-Reeder indicator when precipitate formed. • Titrated with EDTA solution.

  6. Spike Procedure • In 250mL Erlenmeyer flask put 10mL of milk, 3mL ammonia buffer, 1mL spike and small amount of calmagite indicator. • Titrated with EDTA solution. • To test without the spike to see if it produced the same result we put in a 250mL Erlenmeyer flask 10mL of milk, 3mL ammonia buffer and small amount of calmagite indicator. • Titrated with EDTA solution.

  7. Data Types of milkPercentage of Calcium • 1% milk 60% • 2% milk 30% • Nonfat skim milk 25% • Lactose milk 50% • Skim milk 45%

  8. Data Calmagite Indicator Ex: Soy milk Aver: 0.02082g

  9. Calmagite indicator color change:

  10. Data Patton-Reeder Indicator Ex: Soy milk Aver: 0.02267g

  11. Patton-Reeder indicator color change:

  12. Data Spike Ex: Soy milk

  13. Calculations EX: 1% milk • Ca2+ concentration in milk L EDTA x M EDTA x1mol Ca 2+ xmolar mass Ca 2+ 1mol EDTA 0.0771 L x 0.0361 M x1mol Ca 2+ x40.078 g/mol Ca 2+ =0.11155 1mol EDTA • Grams of Calcium per serving grams Ca 2+ x vol vol sample serving 0.11155 g x 240mL = 0.53544 g 50mL serving serving

  14. Calculations cont. • Grams of Calcium per serving based on 2,000 calorie diet mg Ca 2+ (needed daily) x 1 g x %Ca 2+ in milk 1000 mg 11oo mg x 1 g x 60% = 0.66g Ca 2+ 1000mg • Percent Difference Actual - Experimental x 100% Actual 0.66 - 0.5354 x 100% = 18.9% 0.66

  15. Results: Percent Difference

  16. Conclusion - The calmagite indicator took a lot more EDTA to reach the endpoint -Overall, the Patton-Reeder indicator produced better results although the lowest percent difference came from the Lactose milk using the Calmagite indicator. (7.68% difference) -Calmagite indicator with the skim milk produced the highest percent difference (102%) -The spike test produced good results. It took about that same amount of EDTA to titrate samples with and without the CaCO3

  17. Sources of error: - misreading the buret - Some trials might have needed to be titrated more (blue endpoint but then after a minute it would go back to purple)
