Volume strength of resulting solution = 1.339 × 5.6 = 7.5 the degree of hardness of a given sample of hard water is 60 ppm. If the entire hardness is due to MgSO4, how much of MgSO4 is present per kilogram of hard water?

Answer»

Degree of hardness of water = 60ppm

Since degree of hardness is the number of parts of calcium carbonate or equivalent to calcium and magnesium salts present in a million parts of water by mass.

106 g of water contain 60 g of CaCO3

Now 1 mol of CaCCO3 = 1 mol of MgSO4

100g of CaCOa = 120g of MgSO4

106 g of water contain MgSO4\(\frac{60\times 200}{100}\) = 72 g

103 g of water will contain MgSO4 = \(\frac{72}{10^6}\) x 103 = 0.072 g

1 kg of water contain MgSO4 = 72 mg
