(Numerical Practices on Hardness, Complexometric Titration & Alkalinity)

Q1. Calculate the hardness of sewage water sample having following the dissolved salts:
CaCO3=85mg/liter; CaSO4= 34 mg/liter, Ca(HCO3) = 68 mg/liter, MgCO3= 242 mg/liter; MgCl2= 176
mg/liter; MgSO4= 190 mg/liter; Mg(HCO3)= 140 mg/liter; NaCl=752 mg/liter; SiO2=2.32 mg/liter.
Calculate total, temporary & permanent hardness of water in ppm, 0Fr & 0Cl.
Q2. 1.5 gm of CaCO3 was dissolved in dilute HCl and the solution was diluted to one litre by adding
distilled water. 50 ml of this solution required 28 ml of EDTA solution for titration. 100 ml of water
sample required 48 ml of same EDTA solution for titration. 100 ml of same water sample on boiling
cooling & filtration required 31 ml of EDTA solution using EBT as indicator. Calculate total,
temporary & permanent hardness of water in different units.
Q3. A water sample is alkaline to phenolphthalein as well as methyl orange, 100 ml of water sample on
titration with N/50 HCl required 16.2 ml of the acid to phenolphthalein end point. When a few drops of
methyl orange are added to the same solution and titration further continued, the yellow color of the
solution just turned pink after the addition of another 21.6 ml of the acid solution. Elucidate the type
and extent of alkalinity present in water sample.
Q4. A water sample is alkaline to both phenolphthalein as well methyl orange, 50 ml of water sample
on titration with N/20 HCl required 7.7 ml of the acid to phenolphthalein end point. When a few
drops of methyl orange are added to the same solution and titration was further continued, the solution
required 18.6 ml for neutralization and color changes from yellow to pink. Determine on the type and
extent of alkalinity present in water sample.
Q5. A water sample is alkaline to both phenolphthalein and methyl orange. 200ml of water sample on
titration with N/25 HCl required 5ml of the acid up to phenolphthalein end point. When a few drops of
methyl orange are added to the same solution and titration was further continued to yellow color of
the solution just turn orange after the addition of another 12 ml of acid. Calculate the type and extent of
alkalinity present in water sample in different units.
Q6. Calculate the hardness of a water Sample whose 20 ml required 30 ml EDTA, 10ml of standard
calcium chloride solution, whose strength is equivalent to 300mg of CaCO 3 per 200 ml required 20ml
of same EDTA solution.
Q7. 100ml of water sample required 5 ml of N/10 acid solution for titration while using phenolphthalein as
indicator. 100 ml of sample of water was again taken and methyl orange was used as indicator when 15
ml of the same acid solution was required for neutralization. Elucidate the type and extent of
alkalinity present in water sample in ppm, 0Fr & 0Cl.
Q8. 1gm of CaCO3 was dissolved in dilute HCl & the solution was made to one litre by dilution. 50 ml of
this solution required 40 ml of EDTA solution. While 50 ml of sample water required 20 ml of EDTA
solution. 50 ml of same water sample on boiling & filtration required 14.5 ml of EDTA solution using
EBT as indicator. Calculate total hardness of water sample in ppm, 0Fr & 0Cl.
Q9. A water sample is alkaline to both phenolphthalein and methyl orange.50 ml of water sample required
12 ml of N/10 acid solution for phenolphthalein end point and in continuation further it required
another 12 ml of same acid solution for methyl orange end point. Elucidate the type and extent of
alkalinity present in water sample
Q10.How many grams of MgCl2 dissolved per litre will cause the hardness of 488 ppm in water.
