SET A (Write in 20-25 words)

Q.1 What is hardness of water? What do you understand by temporary and permanent

hardness?

Q.2 What do you understand by CaCO3 equivalents? How is it calculated?

Q.3 Determine the CaCO3equivalent of 83 mg of Mg (HCO3)2 (Molecular weight 146)

Q.4 How many grams of FeSO4 dissolved per litre gives 210.5 ppm of hardness?

SET B (Any three)

Q.11 A Sample of water on analysis gives following data. Ca (HCO3)2 =24.10 French,
CaSO4= 3.20 French, MgCl2=9.50 French, SiO2=2.10 French, MgSO4=8.20 French.
Calculate the temporary and permanent hardness on ppm &0Clarke scale.
Q.12 What is break point chlorination, explain by suitable graph? Give its importance.
Q.13 What are the disadvantages of using hard water in boiler operations?
Q.14 Explain scale & sludge formation and their disadvantage. How they are removed?
Q.15 What is conditioning or internal treatment of hard water?
Q.16 A standard hard water contains 15g of CaCO3per liter. 20 mL a required 25mL of
EDTA solution. 100 ml of sample water required 18 ml EDTA solution. The same
sample after boiling required 12 mL EDTA solution. Calculate the temporary hardness
of the given sample of water, in terms of ppm.
Q.17 Calculate the amount of lime (84% pure) and soda (92% pure) required for treatment of
20,000 litres of water, whose analysis is as follows: Ca (HCO3)2 40.5 ppm; Mg (HCO3)2
= 36.5 ppm; MgSO4 = 30.0 ppm; CaSO4 = 34.0 ppm; CaCl2 = 27.75 ppm; and NaCl =
10.00 ppm.
SET C (Any two)
Q.18 Explain how you will determine the Total, Permanent& temporary hardness of water by
complexmetric method using EDTA?
Q.19 What do you mean by zeolite? Why zeolite process is sometimes referred to cation-
exhange process? Discuss regeneration of zeolite?
Q.20 Compare Lime soda, zeolite and ion-exchange process.
