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

Worldwide, the single most important chemical weathering agent is ________. worldwide, the single most important chemical weathe
Juliette [100K]
The single most important chemical weathering agent is Carbon dioxide.
Weathering refers to the process that change the physical and chemical character of rock at or near the surface. Weathering has a dramatic impact on the composition of Earth's atmosphere. Chemical weathering removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, allowing it to be transformed into limestone and stored in the crust. Without chemical weathering, the elevated levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would have long made Earth too hot to sustain life.

Think about the animals in an arctic ecosystem. How would those animals adapt over time if global temperatures rise over the nex
brilliants [131]

Given the fact that we are seeing a rise in the temperature of the globe, the artic animals in that ecosystem must adapt by a reduction in the rate of metabolism.

<h3>What is global warming?</h3>

Several evidences continue to emerge that the temperature of the earth have continued to increase and this is largely due to the fact that since the turn of the twentieth century and the rise of industrialization, there have been a rise in the emission of the carbon dioxide and other green house gases into the environment. As a result of this, the temperature of the earth has continued to rise steadily leading to the melting of the ice cover and the destruction of ecosystems that are found around the artic regions of the earth.

Now, we know that an organism is able to adapt to the changes that occur in its habitat by being able to alter some of its structure and function.

Given that the organisms that live in the artic are adapted to cold regions and low temperatures, the metabolic rate of the organisms is high in order to produce heat.

As a result of the rise in global temperatures, the organisms would have to reduce their rate of metabolism.

What would happen to the annual rates of limestone (CaCO3) precipitation in the ocean if the ocean water were to become much war
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

CaCO3 exoskeleton dissolves in acidic water

Explanation:

The increasing CO2 level makes the ocean water acidic and hence reduces the pH. In such acidic environment, marine organism that produce calcium carbonate shells or skeletons are negatively affected. Coral reefs and coralline algae abilities to produce skeleton also reduces.  

Calcium carbonate dissolves in acid. Thus, the more acidic the ocean water is the faster and easier it is to dissolve the exoskeleton and shell of marine organisms made up of calcium carbonate
