A sample of hard water from some source was found to release carbon dioxide gas when boiled. It is possible to titrate the sample of water from the same source with ?
dil HCl
dil NaOH
The hard water sample contains HCO−3 ion and can be titrated with dil HCl as also with dil NaOH.
HCO−3+HCl→H2O+CO2+Cl−
HCO−3+NaOH→Na++CO2−3+H2O
