Question

Presence of $C a S O_{4}$ causes permanent hardness in water. It can be removed by precipitating it as $C a C O_{3}$ by adding $N a_{2} C O_{3}$ . If the amount of $N a_{2} C O_{3}$ required to soften 100 L of hard water, which is 200 ppm $C a C O_{3}$ , is $x$ g, then value of $x$ is:

Solution

$N a_{2} C O_{3} 106 g + C a S O_{4} \to C a C O_{3} 100 g ↓ + N a_{2} S O_{4} 10^{6} m L o f h a r d w a t e r h a s = 200 g C a C O_{3} 100 L = 10^{5} m L o f h a r d w a t e r h a s = 20 g C a C O_{3} I f h a r d n e s s i s 100 g, N a_{2} C O_{3} r e q u i r e d = 106 g I f h a r d n e s s i s 20 g, N a_{2} C O_{3} r e q u i r e d = 21.2 g$
