MgCl$_2$ and CaSO$_4$ salts are added to 1 litre of distilled deionized water and mixed until completely dissolved. Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) concentration is 500 mg/l, and Total Hardness (TH) is 400 mg/l (as CaCO$_3$). The amounts of MgCl$_2$ and CaSO$_4$ added are calculated (rounded off to the nearest integer). Which of the following options is/are true:
Atomic weights: Ca(40), Mg(24), S(32), O(16), Cl(35.5), C(12)
To solve this problem, we need to calculate the amounts of MgCl2 and CaSO4 added to distilled deionized water, given that:
Step 1: Understand the Contributions to TDS and TH
Step 2: Calculate Molecular Weights
Step 3: Establish Equations
Step 4: Solve the System of Equations
Upon solving these linear equations, the solution yields:
Therefore, the correct answers are:
A hard water would have hardness (in $\text{mg/L}$):
If the odour intensity or pO value is 2, then what is the interpretation?
As per IS 10500:2012, the permissible limit of total dissolved solids (TDS), (in mg/l), in drinking water in the absence of an alternate source is:
With the increase of turbidity, the muddy water appears brown due to the upward radiance peak shift towards:
Eutrophication of water bodies is caused by the-
