Vedclass · Answer

(C) Total hardness $= 200 \ ppm$ of $Mg^{2+}$.Temporary hardness is due to $Mg(HCO_3)_2$ and permanent hardness is due to $MgCl_2$.$Na_2CO_3$ removes temporary hardness by precipitating $Mg^{2+}$ as $MgCO_3$.Remaining hardness is due to $MgCl_2$,which is $\frac{1000}{3} \ ppm$ of $CaCO_3$ equivalent.$1 \ ppm = 1 \ mg/L$. So,remaining hardness $= \frac{1000}{3} \ mg/L$ of $CaCO_3$.In $6 \ L$,total $CaCO_3$ equivalent $= \frac{1000}{3} 	imes 6 = 2000 \ mg = 2 \ g$ of $CaCO_3$.Moles of $CaCO_3 = \frac{2 \ g}{100 \ g/mol} = 0.02 \ mol$.Since $1 \ mol$ of $MgCl_2$ is equivalent to $1 \ mol$ of $CaCO_3$,moles of $MgCl_2 = 0.02 \ mol$.Mass of $MgCl_2 = 0.02 \ mol 	imes 95 \ g/mol = 1.9 \ g$.
