Question
Calculate the total hardness in ppm in given water sample.
: 50ml of standard hard water , containing 1mg pure CaCO3 per ml consumed 20ml EDTA solution.
: 50ml of water sample consumed 30ml EDTA solution using EBT indicator.
Solution
1 ml SHW = 1 mg of CaC03 eq.
∴ 50ml SHW = 50 mg of CaC03 eq .
50 ml of SHW = 20 ml of EDTA solution.
20 ml of EDTA = 50 mg of CaC03 eq.
∴ 1 ml of EDTA = `50/20 ` mg of CaC03 eq .
= 2.5 mg of CaC03 eq.
50 ml of water sample = 30 ml of EDTA solution.
∴ 1000 ml of water sample = `(1000 xx 30 ) /50`
= 600 ml of EDTA solution
1 ml of EDTA = 2.5 mg of CaC03 eq.
∴ 600 ml of EDTA = 2.5x 600
= 1500 mg of CaC03 eq.
∴ Total hardness of = 1500 mg/L
water sample = 1500ppm.
