Table 1. Chemical composition of two water samples. Parameter Sample A Sample B pH 6.5 6.8...
The chemical composition of a water sample is given in the table below. The goal hardness is 80 mg/L as CaCO3 Water composition (mg/L): Ca2+ HCO3 15 SO42- Na* CO2 242 Mg2+ 56 (a) Convert the given ionic concentrations in mg/L to mg/L as CaCO3 (b) What is the total hardness, carbonate hardness and non-carbonate hardness? (C) What is the lime-soda dosage to soften the water to a hardness of 80 mg/L as CaCO3 (d) What is the annual cost...
