HI 3810 Dissolved Oxygen Test Kit: Instruction Manual

The document is an instruction manual for the Hanna Dissolved Oxygen Test Kit. It summarizes that the kit allows users to quickly determine the concentration of dissolved oxygen in water samples using a modified Winkler titration method. The kit contains reagents and calibrated vessels to carry out the chemical reaction, in which manganous ions react with oxygen in an alkaline solution to form a precipitate, then iodide is oxidized to iodine, and the amount of iodine is measured through titration with thiosulfate to determine the oxygen concentration. The manual provides step-by-step instructions for performing the test and interpreting the results.

Instruction Manual

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE

The concentration of dissolved oxygen in water is extremely
important in nature as well in mans environment. In the oceans,
lakes, rivers, and other surface water bodies, dissolved oxygen is
essential to the growth and development of aquatic life. Without
oxygen, the water can become toxic due to the anaerobic
decaying of organic matter. In mans environment, water must
contain at least 2 mg/L of oxygen to protect water pipes from
corrosion. However, boiler system water, in many cases, cannot
contain greater than 10 mg/L oxygen.
The Hanna Dissolved Oxygen Test Kit can determine the
oxygen concentration in water quickly and easily. The kit is
portable and can be used in the field as well in the laboratory. The design makes the kit easy to handle and, except
for Reagent 5, practically prevents accidental injury or
damage due to spills.
Note: mg/L is equivalent to ppm (parts per million).

Dear Customer,
Thank you for choosing a Hanna Product. Please read the
instructions carefully before using the chemical test kit. It
will provide you with the necessary information for correct
use of the kit. SPECIFICATIONS

CHEMICAL REACTION
A modified Winkler method is used. Manganous ions react
with oxygen in the presence of potassium hydroxide to form
a manganese oxide precipitate (Step 1). An azide is present
to prevent any nitrite ions from interfering with the test. On
addition of acid, manganese oxide hydroxide oxidizes the
iodide to iodine (Step 2). Since the amount of iodine generated is equivalent to the oxygen in the sample, the
concentration of iodine is calculated by titration of thiosulfate ions that reduce the iodine back to iodide ions.

Step 1: 2Mn2+ + O2 + 4OH 2MnO(OH)2

Step 2:MnO(OH)2 + 4I + 6H+Mn2+ + 2I2 + 3H2O

Step 3: I2 + 2S2O3 2I + S4O6

SPECIFICATIONS

READ ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE TEST KIT

LOOK AT THE BACK PAGE FOR THE ILLUSTRATED PROCEDURE
Note: Push and twist pipet tip onto tapered end of syringe
ensuring an air tight-fit.
Rinse the glass bottle 3 times with water
sample and fill to overflow. Insert stopper
carefully so as to avoid trapping of air bubbles
in the bottle.

Remove the stopper and add 5

drops each of reagent 1 and 2.
Carefully stopper the bottle, shake vigorously and allow
to stand for 1 minute. A flocculent precipitate will form.

Remove the stopper, add 10 drops of Reagent 3, again

stopper the bottle and shake vigorously until all particulate material is dissolved.

Read off the milliliters of titration solution from the syringe

scale and multiply by 10 to obtain mg/L (ppm) oxygen.

x 10 = mg/L O2
If results are lower than 5 mg/L, the
precision of the test can be improved
as follows. Add an amount of unused
sample in the glass bottle to the 10
mL mark of the plastic vessel. Proceed with the test as
described before and multiply the values on the syringe
scale by 5 to obtain mg/L oxygen in the sample.

x 5 = mg/L O2
REFERENCES

Note: If oxygen is present, the flocculent precipitate will

disappear and the solution will turn a yellow color.
Remove the cap from the plastic
vessel. Rinse the plastic vessel with
the solution in the bottle, fill to the
5 mL mark and replace the cap.
Add 1 drop of Reagent 4 through the cap port and mix
by carefully swirling the vessel in tight circles. The
solution will turn a violet to blue color.

HEALTH & SAFETY DATA

The chemicals contained in this test kit may be hazardous if
improperly handled. Read Health and Safety Data Sheets
before performing the test.

Take the titration syringe and push the

plunger completely into the syringe. Insert
tip into Reagent 5 solution and pull the
plunger out until the lower edge of the
plunger seal is on the 0 mL mark of the
syringe.
Place the syringe tip into the cap port of the
plastic vessel and slowly add the titration
solution dropwise, swirling to mix after each
drop. Continue adding titration solution until
the solution in the plastic vessel changes from
blue to colorless.
