Hardness in groundwater is due to the presence of metal ions

Hardness in groundwater is due to the presence of metal ions, primarily Mg2 and Ca2 . Hardness is generally reported as ppm CaCO3 or mmol/L Ca2 . To measure water hardness, a sample of groundwater is titrated with EDTA, a chelating agent, in the presence of the indicator eriochrome black T, symbolized here as In. Eriochrome black T, a weaker chelating agent than EDTA, is red in the presence of Ca2 and turns blue when Ca2 is removed.

A 50.00-mL sample of groundwater is titrated with 0.0300 M EDTA. Assume that Ca2 accounts for all of the hardness in the groundwater. If 14.00 mL of EDTA is required to titrate the 50.00-mL sample, what is the hardness of the groundwater in molarity and in parts per million of CaCO3 by mass?
