The permanent hardness of water is caused by dissolved doubly or triply charged metal cations, which must be removed to remove the permanent hardness. Distillation is a traditional method for removing these and all other ions, but a more economical solution under most circumstances is contacting the water with an ion exchange medium that can replace the doubly or triply charged cations with singly charged cations such as those of sodium and/or potassium. The reason this works is that most doubly or triply charged cations form precipitates with the anionic portion of soaps or anionic detergents, but singly charged cations form more soluble salts that do not precipitate.

What method remove both temporary and permanent hardness of water?
Boiling method
Wat salt is responsible for temporary and permanent hardness of water?
Temporary hardness of water: CaHCO3, MgHCO3 Permanent hardness of water: CaSO4, MgSO4
What is the difference between temp hard water and permanent hard water?
here two type of hardness 1-temporery 2-permanent *temporery hardness-it is also known as carbonate hardness and alkiliny hardness.it is unstable hardness.it is remove by boiling.it is the due presence of carbonate.
What other substance cause by permanent hardness?
Permanent hardness in water is hardness due to the presence of the chlorides, nitrates and sulphates of calcium and magnesium, which will not be precipitated by boiling.
How do you get rid of water hardness?
Salt is sometimes used to remove water hardness. Borax and soda are generally used as well to remove water hardness.
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.
What causes permanent hardness of water?
Presence of bicarbonates of chlorides or sulphates of calcium or magnesium in water are the main causes of hardness of 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.
How hardness of water can be remove?
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.
