Question

Data Note: Be consistent in reading volume measurements to reflect uncertainty in data. If you are estimating in the tenths place and you read the volume exactly at 10mL, then report 10.0mL Note: Watch the number of significant figures that you report in your final answer for water hardness! You are limited by the molarity of EDTA Also, remember to report the average water hardness!

Explanation / Answer

By applying all equations obtained data summarized in given table.

volume of EDTA

used (mL)

Concentration of Ca+2 ions

per litter of water (mol/L)

Water hardness

(ppm CaCO3)

Basedon these data water sample is classified as soft, because 0-40 ppm CaCO3 containing water is soft water.

Trial

volume of EDTA

used (mL)

Concentration of Ca+2 ions

per litter of water (mol/L)

Water hardness

(ppm CaCO3)
