Question
magnesium (mg/L)
equivalent weight of magnesium
9 mg/L
12.15
x = 37.1 mg/L Mg as CaCO3
magnesium hardness (mg/L) as CaCO,
equivalent weight of CaCO,
x mg/L
50.045
Now, total hardness can be calculated using Equation 21.3:
Total hardness (mg/L) = 69.9 mg/L + 37.1 mg/L
= 107 mg/L as CaCO3
Determine the total hardness as ppm CaCO3 of a sample of water that has calcium content of 56
mg/L and magnesium content of 4.5 mg/L.
