This document outlines an assignment for an Engineering Chemistry course. It contains 10 questions related to water softening processes, corrosion prevention, and material properties. Question 1 asks to describe and illustrate water softening using ion exchange resins and resin regeneration. Question 2 asks about advantages and disadvantages of ion exchange vs lime-soda processes for softening water. Question 3 asks to calculate reagents needed to soften water with various ion compositions. The remaining questions ask about boiler scale vs sludge, lime-soda process variations, distinguishing softening from desalination, calculating reagent needs based on water analyses, cathodic protection applications, and the Pilling-Bedworth rule for material properties.

Mention advantages and disadvantages of ion-exchange process of softening water over lime-soda process. 3. Explain with equations and calculate the quantity of lime and soda required to soften 10,000 litres of water containing: a. 219 ppm of magnesium bicarbonate and 234 ppm of sodium chloride b. 36 pm of Mg2+ and 18.3 of HCO3- c. 1.5 ppm of the free acids, 144 ppm of sulphate ions and 71 ppm of chloride ions. 4. Distinguish between i. Boiler scale and sludge ii. Cold lime soda process and hot lime soda process iii. Softening and desalination of water 5. A water sample using FeSO4 as a coagulant at the rate of 278 ppm, gave following data on analysis for raw water: Ca2+ = 240 ppm; Mg2+ = 96 ppm; CO2 = 44 ppm HCO3- = 732 ppm, Calculate the lime and soda required to soften 250,000 litres of water. 6.
