Example (1) :
A 50 mL of water sample drawn on to an empty dry container whose Initial wt. found
to be 92.468g . After oven drying, the final wt. of container found to be 92.436g. Find
total solids in water in mg/L.
Solution:
Total Solids = = = 640 mg/L
Suspended Solids:-
Filter papers of pore size smaller than smallest suspended particle is used for filtration. Weight
of solids retained on filter paper are measure.
Solution:
Suspended Solids = =
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) : mg/L
The filter water will be put in an oven of 103 ▫ C
TDS (mg/L) =
H2O H + + OH - [ ionization]
ionization Constant k =
= 10 -14 mol/L
Applying Log10 to both sides
Log10 + Log10 = 14
pH + pOH = 14
Whether its strong acid/base or weak acid/base, product of and is always constant (14).
Solution :
- Log10 = 4.1
Solution :
Example (3) : two samples A and B , if pH A = 4.4 and pH = B = 6.4 , Check by how
much the acidity of sample B is more than sample A ?
Solution :
= = 102 (by 100)
Mixing Water samples Having different pH
mixture =
= for sample one, = for sample two
Example (4) :
For water sample A the volume = 300 ml and pH = 7
For water sample B the volume = 700 ml and pH = 5
Find pH of the mixture.
Solution:
,
mixture = = 7.03 x 10 -6
The acidity value is found by Titration Method, which by using a certain amount of an alkaline
to neutralize the acid. From this process the amount of acid will be found.
Solution:
Concentration of the acid , mg/L =
N =0.02 [ will be given]
Equivalent weight of CaCO3 calculation
Form the periodic table atomic weight of Ca = 40, C =12, O =16
The atomic valence of CaCO3 = 2 , [ Ca +2 , CO3 = -2 ]
The equivalent weight = (40+12+ (16 x 3))/2 = 50
