no, you cannot carbonate soft water
Sodium carbonate is more soluble.
yes Ammonium carbonate is soluble in water.
sodium carbonate has quite amount of salt in it. And the salt water is inversely proportional to water containing soap.Hence sodium carbonate affect the surface tension of water rather we say sodium carbonate loss the strength of the surface tension of the water.thanks by,(Arjun Babhulkar)
Sodium cations and carbonate anions.
carbonate + acid = salt + water + carbon dioxide
Hard water is the one that does not lather with soap. Permanent hard water can be converted to soft water by adding sodium carbonate (Na2CO3), or calgon or zeolite.
it is preferable for power stations to use soft water in their boilers because there is calcium carbonate in it and it does not create scale or scum
Because as the spring water evaporates, it leaves behind crystals of calcium carbonate.
The difference is in the name; soft corals have a soft body, with no bony or hard parts. In contrast, hard corals have a hard endoskeleton made of calcium carbonate.
Calcium Carbonate, with a hardness rating of 3.
No chemical reaction between water and sodium carbonate, only solving of the sodium carbonate in water.
Manchester is in an area with a water hardness rating of Slightly hard to moderately hard (100-200mg/l as Calcium Carbonate equivalent).
Calcium Carbonate, with a hardness rating of 3.
Calcium carbonate is almost insoluble in water.
By distillation or evaporation of water
The solubility of calcium carbonate in water is very low; so calcium carbonate form a suspension.
Sodium carbonate is added to 'soften' hard water (reacts with calcium and magnesium ions), however this water is NOT drinkable (potable).
