equivalents of CaCO3
Concept : Hardness of water
Solution :
Hardness of H2O is expressed as equivalent amount of CaCO3 as compared to actual hardening

So 1 mole Ca(HCO3)2 ≡ 1 mole CaCO3
1 mole Mg(HCO3)2 ≡ 1 mole CaCO3

So = 0.005

= 0.005
So nTotal of equivalent CaCO3
= 0.005 + 0.005 = 0.01
Hence wt of CaCO3 = 0.01 × 100 = 1 gm in (100 ml ≡ 100 gm H2O)

So in 106 gm H2O wt CaCO3 = = 104 = 10000 ppm

Question Explanation: Calculating composition of a mixture using stoichiometry and mass

balance.
Concept: Stoichiometry of Chemical Reactions.
Solution: The ore contains Cu2S, CuS, and inert impurities. Roasting converts all copper in
these sulfides into pure copper metal. By setting up mass equations for the total ore and the
total copper produced, we can solve for the individual masses of the copper sulfides.
Mass of Cu2S & CuS = 100 – 4.5 = 95.5 g
Let mass of Cu2S is x g.

which is not possible as given sum is
274 × 400 = 109600.
