titrating calcium ions

The concentration of calcium ions in hard water can be determined by titration with a reagent X which forms a complex with Ca
2+
(aq), giving a change of colour. Three moles of X combine with one mole of Ca
2+
(aq).

X(aq).

Determine the concentration, in mol dm
−3
, of calcium ions in the hard water
