Question
A water sample contains ionic components at the concentrations shown.

\[
\begin{array}{|c|c|}
\hline
\text{Ca}^{2+} & 78 \, \text{mg/L} \\
\hline
\text{Mg}^{2+} & 95 \, \text{mg/L} \\
\hline
\text{Na}^{+} & 40 \, \text{mg/L} \\
\hline
\end{array}
\]

The total hardness of the water sample is most nearly:

(A) 3.0 meq/L  
(B) 7.8 meq/L  
(C) 12.0 meq/L  
(D) 14.0 meq/L
