Water Technology and Green Chemistry
Hardness of water sample: $y/V$ x Z x 100 x 1000 ppm $CaCO_3$ equivalent
V = volume fo water sample titrated
y = volume of disodium EDTA (burette reading)
Z = molarity of disodium EDTA solution
1 ml standard hard water contains 1 mg $CaCO_3$
Temporary hardness = total hardness – permanent hardness

P = Phenolphthalin akalinity
M = Methyl orange alkalinity = total alkalinity
$P=V_1/V$ x Z x 50 x 1000
$M = V_2/V$ x 50 x 1000
$V_1$ = Phenolphthalin end point
Z = Normality of acid
$V_2$ = Methyl Orange end point
V = Volume of water sample titrated
$Hardness = {\text"Amount of NaCl as " CaCO_3}/{\text"Litre of water"}$
