Correct Answer: calcium carbonate equivalents


Solution : The correct answer is calcium carbonate equivalents .

The hardness of water is typically expressed in parts per million (ppm) and evaluated in terms of calcium carbonate due to the high molecular weight of calcium carbonate (100 g/mol) and the fact that it is simpler to compute values with 100 than it is to do so for other agents that contribute to water hardness.
