Detailed Solution
The degree of hardness of water is measured in terms of CaCO3.→ The number of parts by weight of CaCO3 (Or) its equivalent Ca,Mg salts present in 106 parts by weight of water is called degree of hardness of water.100gr of CaCo3 = 111gr of CaCl2100gr of CaCo3 = 95gr of MgCl2100gr of CaCo3 = 120gr of MgSO4100gr of CaCo3 = 136gr of CaSO4100ppm of each means, 111gr of CaCl2 → 100gr of CaCo3100gr of CaCl2 → ? Similary, for MgCl2For MgCl2 For CaSO4 For MgSO4 Degree of hardness caused by MgCl2 sample is high Numerator vaule is low i.e,. Molecular weight is low for NgCl2.
