B Answer any ______ out of _______ questions : Total Marks for the section:

11. (a) 40 mL of standard hard water having 5 1 Y T 14

1800mg/L of CaCO3 when titrated
against EDTA solution which gave
an end point at 30 mL. The same
EDTA was used to titrate 25 mL
sample hardwater which gave an end
point at 20 mL. 100 mL of the same
water sample was boiled, cooled and
filtered and made up with distilled
water to 100 mL. 25 mL of this water
sample consumed 15 mL of the same
EDTA. Calculate the temporary,
permanent and total hardness of the
water sample.

diagram and write the equation for
calculating lime and soda of a hard
water.
12. Write short notes on (i) dry corrosion 3x4 3 Y T 2
(ii) differential aeration corrosion (iii)
stress corrosion.

13. How does shipping industry control 12 2 Y T 14

corrosion of their products from
highly salty sea water? Explain with
neat diagrams and equations.

14. Elaborate basic concepts of Eutectic 2x6 4 Y T 2

composition and Eutectic mixtures of
an arbitrary binary system. Explain
Pb-Sn binary phase diagram with a
neat sketch.

15. Describe working principles, 12 5 Y T 1
