Overview
The Hach acidity reagent set is designed to determine acidity by Digital Titrator titration, with Methyl Orange (using bromphenol blue indicator) and Phenopthalein endpoints. Bromphenol blue (pH 3.7) or phenolphthalein (pH 8.3) indicator is used to titrate the sample with sodium hydroxide to a colorimetric endpoint. Bromphenol blue gives a better endpoint than the methyl orange indicator. Titration to pH 3.7 determines strong mineral acidity (also referred to as methyl orange acidity), whereas the pH 8.3 phenolphthalein endpoint includes weaker acid species and represents the total acidity. The results are expressed in mg/L as calcium carbonate (CaCO3) at a specified pH.
- Range: 10 - 4,000 mg/L as CaCO3
- (100) Bromphenol blue powder pillows
- (100) Phenolphthalein powder pillows
- (1) Sodium hydroxide titration cartridge, 0.1600 N
- (1) Sodium hydroxide titration cartridge, 1.600 N

Ocean acidification: University of Washington's giant plastic bags help control research conditions
With oceans becoming more acidic worldwide, scientists are getting creative in designing experiments to study them. For example, one group at the University of Washington is using giant plastic bags to study ocean acidification. Each bag holds about 3,000 liters of seawater and sits in a cylinder-like cage for stability. The group at UW, made up of professors and students, is controlling carbon dioxide levels in the bags over a nearly three-week period, during which they are looking at the effects of increased acidity on organisms living near the San Juan Islands. “These mesocosms are a way to do a traditional experiment you might do in a lab or classroom,” said Jim Murray, professor of oceanography at the University of Washington.

NOAA Alaska buoy network to monitor North Pacific ocean acidification
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration scientists detected signs of ocean acidification in the waters that hold the vulnerable and valuable fisheries of the North Pacific off the coast of Alaska, but they only had a snapshot of the action. “We know that in this place were important commercial and subsistence fisheries that could be at risk from ocean acidification,” said Jeremy Mathis, a NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory researcher and professor at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. To understand how ocean acidification affects the North Pacific, NOAA scientists created a mooring network that collects constant in situ data on parameters contributing to acidification. They hope it will reveal seasonal trends and patterns left out by their snapshots.

Combating Water Insecurity in Saskatchewan with Real-Time Data
The prairies of Saskatchewan can be described as one of the least water-secure parts of Canada, making water quality monitoring essential for informed resource management in a region already facing water insecurity. While natural physical properties worsen some of the poor water quality conditions in the region, others are connected to land use. Having grown up spending summers on the shores of Lake Huron, Helen Baulch, an associate professor at the School of Environment and Sustainability at the University of Saskatchewan , has always been dedicated to the protection of water resources. Looking back fondly at her childhood playing along the shore, Baulch also recalls the invasion of quagga mussels during her teenage years and watching the lake change as a result.
