Mid Term Examination, October 2023

Engineering Chemistry: CHEM136

Time Duration: 1 Hour Max. Marks: 20

Note: Usage of non-programmable scientific calculator is allowed.

Section A: (Attempt any 2 questions, Each of 03 Marks)

Q1: Discuss the role of NH3-NH4Cl buffer in determination of hardness by complexometric method.
Draw the structure of metal-EDTA complex. (3)
Q2. Draw the structure of the types of ion exchange resin mentioning the functional groups. Give the
chemical reactions involving during softening of water by ion-exchange resins and regeneration of
exhausted io- exchange resins. (3)
Q3. What is meant by conditioning or internal treatment of water? Identify the suitable reagent for
treating acidic, neutral, and highly alkaline water: NaH2PO4, Na2HPO4, Na3PO4. (3)

Section B: (Attempt any 1 question, Each of 6 Marks)

Q4. a) 100 ml of a sample of water required 15ml of 0.01M EDTA for titration using EBT as
indicator. In another experiment, 100 ml of same sample was boiled to remove the temporary
hardness. The cold sample (100 ml) required 8 ml of 0.01M EDTA solution for titration. Calculate (i)
Total hardness, (ii) Permanent hardness.
(3)
b) 200 ml of a sample required 20 ml of N/50 HCl using methyl orange as indicator. Another 200 ml
of the same sample required N/50 HCl using phenolphthalein as indicator. Express the alkalinity in
terms of mg of CaCO3 per litre. (3)

Q5. (a) How many grams of FeSO4 dissolved per litre gives 210.5 ppm of hardness? (3)
(b) Calculate the amount of lime and soda required to soften 1 million litres of water having the
following analysis: HCl = 14.6 ppm; Al 2(SO4)3= 17.1 ppm; MgCl2 = 9.5 ppm; NaCl= 29.25 ppm; KCl
= 20 ppm. (3)

Section C: (Compulsory question, 8 Marks)

Q6. a) Give reasons for the following: (2× 3 = 6)


i) In the lime soda process why does Mg (HCO 3)2 requires 2L? Why alkalinity of water cannot be due
to the simultaneous presence of all three OH-, CO32- and HCO3- ions?
ii) What is the principle behind the use of selective indicators in the determination of CO 32- , HCO3-
and OH- ions. Explain.
iii) What is break point chlorination? What is the advantage of using chloramines as disinfectant?
