A sample of water contains 0.012 g of MgSO_(4) per litre. The hardness of the water sample in ppm is

Answer»

20 PPM
10 ppm
25 ppm
15 ppm

Solution :Equivalent mass of `MgSO_(4)=60`
`rArr"60 g of "MgSO_(4)-="50 g of "CaCO_(3)`
`therefore"0.012 g of "MhSO_(4)-=(50xx0.012)/(60)="0.01 g of "CaCP_(3)`
`rArr"1 LITRE of water contains 0.01 parts by weight of "CaCO_(3)`
`"i.e. 1000 parts of water contains 0.01 parts by weight of "CaCO_(3)`
`rArr ""10^(6)` parts by weight of water contains 10 parts by weight of `CaCO_(3)`.
`therefore` The hardness of the water sample is 10 ppm.
