Q. Which of the following ions will cause hardness in water ?

A water contains the following dissolved ions.
$[N a^{+}] = 56 m g / L; [C a^{2 +}] = 40 m g / L;$
$[M g^{2 +}] = 30 m g / L; [A l^{3 +}] = 3 m g / L;$
$[H C O_{3}^{-}] = 190 m g / L; [C l^{-}] = 165 m g / L;$
Water $p H$ is $7$ .
Atomic weights:
$C a = 40, M g = 24, A l = 27, H = 1, C = 12, O = 16, N a = 23, C l = 35.5$

The non-carbonate hardness of the sample in $m g / L$ as $C a C O_{3}$ is

C a^{2 +}

concentration and

M g^{2 +}

concent-ration of a water sample are

160 m g / l i t

40 m g / l i t

as their ions respectively. The total hardness of this water sample in terms of

C a C O_{3}

m g / l i t

is approximately equal to
