Real World: Calcium in
Milk
By: Chealsa Mooney and Christina Robinson
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.
Procedure One
Calmagite Indicator
1. Weighed out EDTA, dissolved in 1000mL.
Resulted in 0.0361M EDTA solution
2. Created ammonia buffer
3. In 250mL Erlenmeyer flask put 50mL of
milk, 3mL ammonia buffer and small
amount of calmagite indicator.
4. Titrated with EDTA solution.

Calmagite
Indicator:
Procedure Two
Patton-Reeder
1. Used same solution of EDTA.
2. In 250mL Erlenmeyer flask put 10mL of
milk, 40mL distilled water, and 4mL of 8M
NaOH.
3. Allowed solution to sit for 5 minutes for
precipitate to form.
4. Added 0.05g of Patton-Reeder indicator
when precipitate formed.
5. Titrated with EDTA solution.
Spike Procedure
1. In 250mL Erlenmeyer flask put 10mL of
milk, 3mL ammonia buffer, 1mL spike and
small amount of calmagite indicator.
2. Titrated with EDTA solution.
3. 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.
4. Titrated with EDTA solution.

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
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)
