The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

$ {gme of \; CaCO3 = gme of \; Ca(HCO3) + gme of \; Mg(HCO3)}$ $\text{mole} \times n.f = \frac{0.81}{162}\times2 + \frac{0.73}{146}\times2$ $ \text{mole} \; \text{of} \; CaCO_{3} = \frac{1}{200} \times2 + \frac{1}{200} \times2$ $ \text{mole} \text{of} CaCO_{3} = \frac{1}{200} + \frac{1}{200} = \frac{2}{200} = \frac{1}{ 100} \text{mole} $ Hardness $ = \frac{Wt. \text{of} \; CaCO_{3} \; \text{in} \; gm }{ Wt. of \; \text{water} \; \text{in} \; gm } \times10^{6} $ $ = \frac{\frac{1}{100} \times100}{100} \times10^{6} = 10^{4} ppm $

Solutions

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more components in which the particle size is smaller than 1 nm.

For example, salt and sugar is a good illustration of a solution. A solution can be categorized into several components.

Types of Solutions:

The solutions can be classified into three types:

  • Solid Solutions - In these solutions, the solvent is in a Solid-state.
  • Liquid Solutions- In these solutions, the solvent is in a Liquid state.
  • Gaseous Solutions - In these solutions, the solvent is in a Gaseous state.

On the basis of the amount of solute dissolved in a solvent, solutions are divided into the following types:

  1. Unsaturated Solution- A solution in which more solute can be dissolved without raising the temperature of the solution is known as an unsaturated solution.
  2. Saturated Solution- A solution in which no solute can be dissolved after reaching a certain amount of temperature is known as an unsaturated saturated solution.
  3. Supersaturated Solution- A solution that contains more solute than the maximum amount at a certain temperature is known as a supersaturated solution.
