Solution

To calculate the hardness in ppm (parts per million) for both samples, we need to convert the mg/L to ppm.

  1. For Sample A: The given concentration is 168 mg of MgCO3 in 500 mL. We need to convert this to mg/L (since 1 ppm = 1 mg/L). So, 168 mg in 500 mL is equivalent to (168 mg / 0.5 L) = 336 mg/L. Therefore, the hardness of Sample A is 336 ppm.

  2. For Sample B: The given concentration is 820 mg of Ca(NO3)2 in 250 mL. We need to convert this to mg/L. So, 820 mg in 250 mL is equivalent to (820 mg / 0.25 L) = 3280 mg/L. Therefore, the hardness of Sample B is 3280 ppm.
