Hard water refers to water that has very high mineral content, which affects its behavior in pipes and its affect on other chemicals like soap, where it often causes the formation of soap scum.
Hard water also has a tendency to form deposits in pipes.
Normally you wouldn't WANT to make water become hard, and there are systems for trying to reduce the "hardness" of water in the pipes of your home.
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.
Hard water contains high levels of minerals like calcium and magnesium, which can leave behind white deposits on surfaces. Soft water, on the other hand, has lower mineral content and does not leave deposits. You can also test water hardness with a testing kit or check local water reports.
yes
Temporary hard water contains bicarbonates of calcium and magnesium. We can convert it to soft water by boiling or by adding calculated quantity of calcium hydroxide.
Hard water contains bicarbonates of calcium and magnesium or sulphates and chlorides od calcium and magnesium . It can be converted to soft water by boiling or by adding calculated quantity of calcium hydroxide .
Yes
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
