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).
A 25.0cm 3 sample of hard water reacted with 24.0cm 3 of 1.00×10 −4 mol dm −3 X(aq).
Determine the concentration, in mol dm −3 , of calcium ions in the hard water
