A water containing 12 mg/L of MgSO\( _4 \) has a hardness of

  • A.12 ppm
  • B.14.4 ppm
  • C.120 ppm
  • D.10 ppm

Answer: D

Twelve times 100 over 120 gives 10 parts per million as calcium carbonate, the factor being the ratio of the two molar masses. Magnesium sulphate contributes permanent hardness, so boiling will not remove it and soda ash is needed.
