If a water sample has 0.07 mol of calcium ions in 15 L solution, what is the water hardness level in mg/L? Pay attention to the unit. Hint: For the calcium mass , convert mol to g to mg. (1 mol calcium ion= 40.08 g/mol and 1 g = 1000 mg) Round and report your answer to an integer without decimal place. Report numeric value only, no unit. • Water hardness levels according to EPA Soft: 0-60 milligrams per liter (mg/L) as calcium carbonate Moderately hard: 61-120 mg/L as calcium carbonate • Hard: 121-180 mg/L as calcium carbonate Very hard: more than 180 mg/L as calcium carbonate

Calcium carbonate, CaCO3, can be obtained in a very pure state. Standard solutions of calcium ion are usually prepared by dissolving calcium carbonate in acid. What mass of CaCO3 should be taken to prepare 500. mL of 0.0200 M calcium ion solution?
What mass of a 4.00% NaOH solution by mass contains 15.0 g of NaOH?
Addition of water to concentrated sulfuric acid is dangerous because it generates enough heat to boil the water, causing it to spatter out of the container. For this reason, chemists remember to add acid to water. In a dilution experiment, we calculate the amount of the more concentrated solution that must be measured out. If we place this concentrated solution (Figure 4.7) in the volumetric flask first, then dilute with water, we violate the caution Add acid to water. Describe a safer variation on the method shown in Figure 4.7 that allows the quantitative dilution of concentrated sulfuric acid. Figure 4.7 Preparing a dilute solution from a concentrated solution. (a) Draw the concentrated solution into a pipet to a level just above the calibration mark. (b) Allow the liquid to settle down to the calibration line. Touch the tip of the pipet to the side of the container to remove any extra liquid. (c) Transfer this solution to a volumetric flask. Again touch the pipet to the wall of the flask to ensure complete transfer, but do not blow out the pipet because it is calibrated for a small amount of liquid to remain in the tip. (d) Dilute to the mark with solvent. Frequently, especially with concentrated acids, it is best to have some solvent present in the volumetric flask before you add the concentrated sample.
