One litre of a sample of hard water contain 4.44mg CaCl_(2) and 1.9mg "of" MgCl_(2) . What is the total hardness in terms of ppm of CaCO_(3)?

500 gms of water contains 6 times 10^(-3) gms of dissolved MgSO_(4) in it. Calculate the hardness of water in ppm of CaCO_(3) ?

A water is said to be soft water if it produces sufficient foam with the soap and water that does not produce foam with soap is known as hard water. Hardness has been classified into two types (i)Temporary hardness (ii) Permanent hardness. Temporary hardness is due to presence of calcium and magnesium bicarbonate. It is simply removed by boiling as Ca(HCO_(3))_(2)overset(Delta)rarr CaCO_(3)darr+CO_(2)uarr+H_(2)O Mg(HCO_(3))_(2)overset(Delta)rarr MgCO_(3)darr+CO_(2)uarr+H_(2)O temporary hardness can also be removed by addition of slaked lime, Ca(OH)_(2) Ca(HCO_(3))_(2)+Ca(OH)_(2) to 2CaCO_(3)darr+2H_(2)O permanent hardsness is due to presencce of sulphates and chlorides of Ca,Mg,etc. It is removed by washing soda as CaCl_(2)+Na_(2)CO_(3) to CaCO_(3)darr+2NaCl CaSO(4)+Na_(2)CO_(3)to CaCO_(3)darr+Na_(2)SO_(4) Permanent hardness also removed by ion exchange resin process as 2RH+Ca^(2+)toR_(2)Ca+2H^(+) 2ROH+SO_(4)^(2-) to R_(2)SO_(4)+2OH^(-) The degree of hardness of water is measured in terms of PPm of CaCO_(3) 100 PPm means 100 g of CaCO_(3) is present in 10^(6) g of H_(2)O . If any other water sample which contain 120 PPm of MgSO_(4) , hardness in terms of CaCO_(3) is equal to =100 PPm. One litre of a sample of hard water (d=1 g/mL) cotains 136 mg of CaSO_(4) and 190 mg of MgCl_(2) . What is the total hardness of water in terms of CaCO_(3) ?
