Part-A (5 Questions X 2 Marks)

[1] Which salts are responsible for Temporary and Permanent hardness of water.
[2] What are different units of hardness. Write formula of interconversion of these units.
[3] What is Priming and Foaming?
[4] Write General formula of Zeolites.
[5] Write names of Internal Treatment methods used for water softening.

Part-B (3 Questions x 7 Marks)

[1] Describe ion- exchange method for softening of hard water.

[2] Explain different methods used for Sterilization Treatment of Water for Domestic
Purposes
[3] Why hardness is expressed in terms of equivalents of CaCO3.A given sample of water
contains following salts: MgSO4-50 mg/L, Mg( HCO3)2= 73mg/L, CaSO4=68mg/L.
Calculate the degree of hardness in French, Clarke and ppm.

Part-C (3 Questions x 11 Marks)

[1] 100 mL of a sample of water required 20mL of .01 M, EDTA for titration using EBT as
indicator. After boiling 100 mL of same sample, required 10 mL of .01 M, EDTA.
Calculate – Total, Permanent and Temporary Hardness.
[2] A Hard water sample having following composition has to be softened using Lime Soda
Process: MgSO4-84 ppm, Mg( HCO3)2= 56 ppm, CaSO4=98 ppm, Ca( HCO3)2= 220 ppm
and MgCl2-130 ppm.
Calculate the amount of lime and Soda required to soften 10 6 Litres of water. Also write
chemical reactions involved in Lime Soda Process.
[3] Explain Boiler Corrosion and Caustic Embrittlement.
