Q1 Given atomic weights of elements as H=1, C=12, N=14, O=16, Na=23, Mg=24, S=32, Cl=35.5,
Ca=40, Fe=56. Find multiplication factor for converting into equivalents of CaCO3
For Ca(HCO3)2, Mg(HCO3)2, CaSO4, CaCl2, MgSO4, MgCl2, CaCO3, MgCO3, CO2, Mg(NO3)2,
HCO3-, OH-, CO32-, NaAlO2, Al(SO4)3, FeSO4.7H2O, H+.
Q2. A water sample containds 410 mg of CaSO4 per litre. Calculate the hardness in terms of CaCO3
equivalents.
Q3. 50 ml of standard hard water containing 1.5 mg of pure CaCO3 per ml consumed 44ml of a
water sample consumed 20 ml of the same EDTA solution. Using EBT as indicator, calculate the
total hardness of water sample in ppm, °Cl and °Fr.
Q4. 500ml of water sample, on titrationwith N/50 H2SO4 using phenolphthalein as indicator, gave
the end point when 10ml of acid were run down. Another lot of 200ml of the sample also required
10ml of the acid to obtain methyl-orange end point. What type of alkalinity is present in the sample
and what is its magnitude?
Q5. Analysis of water gave the following results. H2SO4=196mg/lt, MgSO4=24mg/l,
CaSO4=272mg/l. Water is to be supplied to the town of the population of one lakh only. The daily
consumption of water is 50 litre per head. Calculate the cost of lime and soda required for the
softening the hard water is 50 litre per head. Calculate the cost of lime and soda required for the
sofetening the hard water for town for the month April 2002. If the cost of lime is Rs. 5.00 per Kg
and cost of soda is Rs. 8.00 per kg.
Q6. A standard hard water contains 1000mg of CaCO3 per litre of CaCO3 per litre, 50 ml of this
required 50ml of sample water required 40 ml of EDTA solution. The sample after boiling required
20 ml EDTA solution. Calculate the temporary and permanent hardness of the given sample of
water, in different units.
Q7. An oil of unknown viscosity index has saybolt universal viscosity of 60 sec at 210°F and 600
sec at 100 °F. The high viscosity index standard (i.e. Pennysylvanian) oil has saybolt viscosity of
60 sec at 210 °F and 500 sec at 100 °F. The low viscosity index standard (i.e., Gulf) oil has saybolt
universal viscosity 60 sec at 210°F and 800 sec at 100 °F. Calculate the viscosity index of unknown
oil.
