You took 25.00 mL of unknown water solution and titrated it with EDTA. The EDTA solution molarity was 0.01 M, and it took 16.50 mL to reach the end point. With the blank it took only 0.98 mL to reach end point. 15.52 mL of EDTA solution were used to titrate hardness that actually came from the unknown 1.552×10−4 moles of EDTA reacted with hardness-causing ions from the unknown sample 1.552×10−4 moles of hardness-causing ions were present in the unknown sample A) Assuming that the total hardness of water is due to CaCO3, how many grams CaCO3 does it correspond to? B) What is the total hardness of the unknown water in ppm CaCO3?
