Question

In the DPD colorimetric method for the free chlorine residual, which is reported as mg Cl2/L, the oxidizing power of free chlorine converts the colorless amine N,N-diethyl-p-phenylenediamine to a colored dye that absorbs strongly over the wavelength range of 440-580 nm. Analysis of a set of calibration standards gave the following results:

mg Cl2/L     absorbance

0.00 0.000

0.50 0.270

1.00    0.543

1.50         0.813

2.00 1.084

A sample from a public water supply is analyzed to determine the free chlorine residual, giving an absorbance of 0.113. What is the free chlorine residual for the sample in mg Cl2/L?

Explanation / Answer

SOLUTION:

The concentration shown inred color corresponds to absorbance of 0.113. The corresponding concentration of Cl2 is 0.2mg/L.

Dear candidate we have plotted a graph b/n concentration and absorbance, unfortunately the Q A board cant read excel files. Plot absorbance on y-axis and conc. on x- axis. The check the concentration corresponding to absorbance of 0.113. The answer will be 0.2mg/L
