Question
100 mL of a sample of hard water requires 25.1 mL of 0.02 N H2SO4 for complete reaction. The hardness of water (density 1 g/mL) is:

Answer: C
π‘ Solution & Explanation
Milliequivalent of H2SO4 = 25.1 ο΄ 0.02 = 0.502 Equivalent = 0.502 ο΄ 10-3 Eq of H2SO4 = Eq of CaCO3 ο Mass of CaCO3 = Eq ο΄ 50 = 0.502 ο΄ 10-3 ο΄ 50 = 0.0251 100 mL H2O = 100 g contains 0.0251 g CaCO3 106 g of water will contain 6 2
