Rainwater is naturally soft but can be hardened when it has picks up calcium and magnesium which are the essential minerals in hard water.
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.
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.
The presence of calcium and magnesium salts in the form of hydrogencarbonate, chloride and sulphate in water makes water 'hard'. Hard water does not give lather with soap. Whereas, water free from souluble salts of calcium and magnesium is called soft water. It gives lather with soap. And also hard water forms scum(precipitate) with soap, therefore unsutable for laundry but soft water does not form scum.
rain water soft whilst falling,when it hits the ground or into rivers it mixes minerals etc which in in turn turn it hard some area like devon it stay soft
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.
Nope, unless it's a river of ice, because hard water is ice.
