    The hardness of water is estimated by

    A)  EDTA method

    B)  titrimetric method

    C)  conductivity method

    D)  distillation method

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     The hard water contains soluble salts of calcium or magnesium. Therefore, the hardness of water is estimated by EDTA method. EDTA (ethylene diamine tetracetic acid) is a white crystalline powder. It is used as a titrant for the volumetric estimation of calcium, magnesium and other metals. EDTA when treated with water forms stable complex with metal ions. Note
