Calculate the concentration of calcium in mg/1 as CaCO3
?
From the detamination of hardness of water through complexometric titration, the following data are obtained:
Average volume of EDTA used= 8.47mls when water sample used,
Average volume of EDTA=0.17mls when distilled water was used (blank)
Mean corrected titration volume of EDTA required by water sample was 8.30mls( when Murexide indicator was used)
To calculate the concentration of calcium in mg/L as CaCO3, you need to convert the concentration of calcium in mg/L to the equivalent concentration of calcium carbonate (CaCO3).
The molar mass of calcium (Ca) is 40.08 g/mol, and the molar mass of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is 100.09 g/mol. This means that 1 mole of calcium is equivalent to 1 mole of calcium carbonate.
To convert the concentration of calcium in mg/L to the equivalent concentration of calcium carbonate, you can use the following formula:
Concentration of CaCO3 (mg/L) = Concentration of Ca (mg/L) x (100.09 g/mol / 40.08 g/mol)
For example, if the concentration of calcium is 50 mg/L, the concentration of calcium carbonate would be:
Concentration of CaCO3 = 50 mg/L x (100.09 g/mol / 40.08 g/mol) = 125.22 mg/L
Therefore, the concentration of calcium in mg/L as CaCO3 would be 125.22 mg/L.
