What are the two form of hardness found in water?
Hardness in water is usually characterised as temporary or permanent. Both are due to the presence of calcium or magnesium ions. If they are present as the hydrogen carbonate, when the water is boiled this is converted to the carbonate which precipitates out as a solid, leaving water which is no longer hard, so this is called temporary hardness. If they are present as the sulfate the solution is unaffected by boiling, and this is called permanent hardness.
Do Calcium bicarbonate salts cause hardness to the water?
Yes. it causes temporary hardness of water, which can be generally removed by boiling water.
Why temporary hardness is removed from water by boiling but permanent hardness is not?
Permanent hardness is hardness (mineral content) that cannot be removed by boiling. It is usually caused by the presence in the water of calcium and magnesium sulphates or chlorides which become more soluble as the temperature rises.
Wat salt is responsible for temporary and permanent hardness of water?
Temporary hardness of water: CaHCO3, MgHCO3 Permanent hardness of water: CaSO4, MgSO4
How can hardness of water removed?
Hardness of water can be removed with a water softener. These devices pump the water through salt to remove minerals and other particles.
What salts can cause hardness of water?
calcium and magnesium
How do you remove the hardness of water?
Boiling water is simple process as it remove all temporary hardness.Permanent hardness need specific filters.

What is permanent hardness of water?
Temporary Hardness Temporary hardness is hardness that can be removed by boiling or by the addition of lime (calcium hydroxide). It is caused by a combination of calcium ions and bicarbonate ions in the water. By boiling the water, it promotes the formation of carbonate from the bicarbonate and will precipitate calcium carbonate (the limescale) out of solution, leaving water that is less hard after it has cooled. When it has been heated, less carbon dioxide is able to dissolve into the water. Since there is not enough carbon dioxide around, the reaction cannot take place, and therefore the calcium carbonate will not "dissolve" as readily. Instead, the reaction is forced to re-establish equilibrium, and the solid calcium carbonate is formed. Heating water will remove hardness as long as the limescale that precipitates out is removed. After cooling, if enough time passes the water will pick up carbon dioxide from the air and the reaction will again proceed, allowing the calcium carbonate to "redissolve" in the water. Permanent Hardness Permanent hardness is hardness (mineral content) that cannot be removed by boiling. When this is the case, it is usually caused by the presence of calcium and magnesium sulphates and/or chlorides in the water, which become more soluble as the temperature rises. Despite the name, the hardness of the water can be easily removed using a water softener, or ion exchange column.

What method remove both temporary and permanent hardness of water?
Boiling method
Is a tattoo stencil permanent or temporary?
Temporary. It can be removed with soap and water.
