Sl. No. Question Mark

1 0.45 gm of CaCO3 was dissolved in HCl and the solution was 5
made up to 2.0 L with distilled water. 50 mL of this solution
required 16 mL of EDTA solution. 50 mL of hard water
sample required 25 mL of EDTA solution on titration. 100 mL
of boiled cooled and filtered hard water consumed 12 mL of
EDTA solution. Calculate temporary, permanent and total
hardness in terms of Degree Clark and Degree French.
Or
20 mL of standard hard water (containing 1.5 g CaCO3 per
litre) required 25 mL EDTA solution for end point. 100 mL of
water sample required 18 mL EDTA solution, while same
water after boiling required 12 mL EDTA solution. Calculate
carbonate and non-carbonate hardness of water sample in
Degree Clark and Degree French.

2 a) Presence of CaSO4 and small amount of MgCl2 in water is 5+5

harmful for the boiler. Justify the statement with proper
explanation and reactions.
(b) If you are given one water sample and asked to estimate
the D.O. level, what will be your strategy?
Or
a) After addition of EBT indicator to a sample water
containing NH4OH and NH4Cl, colour changes to deep blue.
Discuss the reason with proper justification. (b) What is the
colour of EDTA-Ca2+ complex? Discuss with proper
justification.
(b) Discuss the appropriate reasons for the boiler corrosion.
How is this prevented?
3 Calculate the amount of lime and soda required for softening 5
9000 litres of water sample containing Mg(HCO3)2 = 73 ppm;
CaCl2 = 111 ppm; MgSO4 = 120 ppm; CaSO4 = 68 ppm; NaCl
= 580 ppm and Fe2O3 = 234 ppm. The lime of 80% and soda
of 90% purity need to be used in the process.
Or
Calculate the amount of lime (85% pure) and soda (95% pure)
required for softening 50,000 litres of water containing the
 following impurities: Mg(HCO3)2 = 16.5 ppm; Ca(HCO3)2 =
20.5 ppm; MgSO4 = 35 ppm; CaCl2 = 27.75 ppm and CaSO4 =
40 ppm and KCl = 200 ppm.

4 Specific instruction is given that water used in a newly 10

purchased boiler should not contain water hardness more than
1.0 ppm. As engineering chemistry student what procedure
you should follow. Describe elaborately.
Or
Elaborately describe the steps involved in the purification of
dirty lake water into drinkable one.
