Hardness is conventionally expressed as an equivalent quantity of

  • A.calcium sulphate
  • B.calcium bicarbonate
  • C.magnesium hydroxide
  • D.calcium carbonate

Answer: D

Correct answer: calcium carbonate

A water contains several different hardness-producing salts, and expressing each as the mass of calcium carbonate that would cause the same hardness makes them additive, so a single figure describes the water. Calcium carbonate was chosen because its molar mass is a convenient 100 and it is the substance actually deposited as scale.
