An EDTA solution was prepared by dissolving approximately 4 g of the disodium salt in approximately 1L of water. An average of 42.35 mL of this solution was required to titrate 50.00-mL aliquots of a standard that contained 0.7682 g of MgCO3 per liter. Titration of a 25.00-mL sample of mineral water at pH 10 required 18.81 mL of the EDTA solution. A 50.00-mL aliquot of the mineral water was rendered strongly alkaline to precipitate the magnesium at Mg(OH)2. Titration with a calcium-specific indicator required 31.54 mL of the EDTA solution. Calculate (a) the molar concentration of the EDTA solution, (b) the concentration of CaCO3 in the mineral water in ppm
