Hardness in groundwater is due to the presence of metal ions, primarily Mg2 and Ca2 . Hardness is generally reported as ppm CaCO

3 or mmol/L Ca2 . To measure water hardness, a sample of groundwater is titrated with EDTA, a chelating agent, in the presence of the indicator eriochrome black T, symbolized here as In. Eriochrome black T, a weaker chelating agent than EDTA, is red in the presence of Ca2 and turns blue when Ca2 is removed. redblue Ca(In)2+ + EDTA --> Ca(EDTA)^2+ + In A 50.00-mL sample of groundwater is titrated with 0.0600 M EDTA. Assume that Ca2 accounts for all of the hardness in the groundwater. If 12.00 mL of EDTA is required to titrate the 50.00-mL sample, what is the hardness of the groundwater in molarity and in parts per million of CaCO3 by mass?

Answer:

  • 0.0144 M
  • 1440 ppm

Explanation:

Ca(In)²⁺ + EDTA → Ca(EDTA)²⁺ + In

We use the volume of EDTA consumed in the titration to <u>calculate the moles of Ca⁺² ions</u>:

  • 0.012 L * 0.0600 M * \frac{1molCa^{+2}}{1molEDTA} = 7.20x10⁻⁴ mol Ca⁺²

Now we <u>calculate the molarity</u>:

  • 7.20x10⁻⁴ mol Ca⁺² / 0.050 L = 0.0144 M

To calculate in ppm, we <u>use the moles of Ca⁺² and convert to mg of CaCO₃:</u>

  • 7.20x10⁻⁴ mol Ca⁺² = 7.20x10⁻⁴ mol CaCO₃
  • 7.20x10⁻⁴ mol CaCO₃ * 100g/mol * \frac{1000mg}{1g} = 72 mg CaCO₃

Finally, <u>the concentration in ppm</u> is:

  • 72 mg CaCO₃ / 0.050L = 1440 ppm

The table shows the amount of radioactive element remaining in a sample over a period of time.
Assoli18 [71]

It would take 147 hours for 320 g of the sample to decay to 2.5 grams from the information provided.

Radioactivity refers to the decay of a nucleus leading to the spontaneous emission of radiation. The half life of a radioactive nucleus refers to the time required for the nucleus to decay to half of its initial amount.

Looking at the table, we can see that the initial mass of radioactive material present is 186 grams, within 21 hours, the radioactive substance decayed to half of its initial mass (93 g). Hence, the half life is 21 hours.

Using the formula;

k = 0.693/t1/2

k = 0.693/21 hours = 0.033 hr-1

Using;

N=Noe^-kt

N = mass of radioactive sample at time t

No = mass of radioactive sample initially present

k = decay constant

t = time taken

Substituting values;

2.5/320= e^- 0.033 t

0.0078 = e^- 0.033 t

ln (0.0078) = 0.033 t

t = ln (0.0078)/-0.033

t = 147 hours
