Determine the calcium content (in ppm) of a 100.00 mL sample of drinking water if the following data were obtained. Titrant is 0.0421 M EDTA, 13.84 mL were used when an aliquot of the sample was at pH 13.0, 19.36 mL were used for an aliquot at pH 10.5.
1 mole of Ca2+ reacts with 1 mole of EDTA
moles of EDTA used = 0.0421 M x 13.84 ml
= 0.583 mmol
So,
calcium content in sample = 0.583 mmol x 40.08 g/mol/0.1 L
= 233.67 ppm (mg/L)
