Hard water content of 2+ and 3+ mineral metal ions is high. Most common hardness is result of Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions in ground- or surface water.
Soft water on the other hand, contains lower levels of calcium and magnesium. Rain water is soft.
Boiling hard water does not make it soft. Boiling water only removes some impurities and kills bacteria, but it does not change the mineral content that makes water hard. To soften hard water, a water softener system is needed.
Hard water is generally a weaker solvent compared to soft water. This is because hard water contains minerals like calcium and magnesium, which can reduce its ability to dissolve other substances effectively. Soft water, on the other hand, lacks these minerals and is better at dissolving substances, making it a more efficient solvent.
Hard water has a lower foaming capacity compared to soft water because the presence of minerals such as calcium and magnesium interferes with the formation of soap lather. Soft water, on the other hand, allows for more effective lathering with soap due to the absence of these minerals.
River water is generally considered soft water because it contains low levels of minerals like calcium and magnesium. Hard water typically comes from sources like groundwater or wells, where it has passed through mineral-rich rocks.
To define pH you need to define the temperature you are talking about - at higher temperature, pH increases.
Hard water has more calcium than soft water does
hard water can be converted to soft water by boiling, filteration etc.
it is soft water
Because hard water is better than soft water for drinking
It depends on what area you live in whether your water is hard or soft, hope that helps :)
Soft water is used in all industries and for drinking; hard water can be used in agriculture.
you boil it in boiling water
it is not hard,only when put in oven,so it is soft
Water is a universal solvent and there are two types of water i.e hard water and soft water. Soft water is the water that easily lather with soap while hard water does not lather with soap and is also of two type i.e temporary and permanent.
Soft.
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.
soft corals live deeper water than hard corals because soft corals do not create a hard outer skeleton as the hard corals do.
