CONSTITUENTS	QUANTITY IN ppm	MULTIPLICATION FACTOR	CaCO3 EQUIVALENT
Ca(HCO3)2	81	$\dfrac{100}{162}$	$\dfrac{81 \times 100}{162}=50$
MgSO4	60	$\dfrac{100}{120}$	$\dfrac{60 \times 100}{120}=50$
MgCO3	42	$\dfrac{100}{84}$	$\dfrac{42 \times 100}{84}=50$
Ca(NO3)2	82	$\dfrac{100}{164}$	$\dfrac{82 \times 100}{164}=50$

Temporary hardness = Hardness caused due to[Ca(HCO3)2 + MgCO3] $= 50 + 50 =100 \ \mathrm {ppm}$
