Ion concentra...

Question

Ion concentrations obtained for a groundwater sample (having $p H - 8.10$ ) are given below. $\begin{matrix} Ion & C a^{2 +} & M g 2 + & N a^{+} & H C O_{3}^{-} & S O_{4}^{2 -} & C l^{-} Ion concentration (m g / L) & 100 & 6 & 15 & 250 & 45 & 39 Atomic weight & C a = 40 & M g = 24 & N a = 23 & H = 1 C = 12 Q = 16 & S = 32 O = 16 & C l = 35.5 \end{matrix}$ Total hardness $(m g / L a s C a C O_{3})$ present in the above water sample is

Solution

The correct option is A $275$
Total hardness in water is due to multivalent cations
Total hardness
$= [C a^{2 +}] \times \frac{Equivalent weight of C a C O_{3}}{Equivalent weight of C a^{2 +}} + [M g^{2 +} \times \frac{Equivalent weight of C a C O_{3}}{Equivalent weight of M g^{2 +}}$
$= 100 \times \frac{50}{20} + 6 \times \frac{50}{12}$
$= 275 m g / L a s C a C O_{3}$
