What ions are present in hard water if it contains calcium chloride dissolved in distilled water?
ya mamHard water contains calcium and magnesium ions that cause hard water stains and limescale formation.
What is the name of the formula CaCO3?
The name of the chemical formula CaCO3 is calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate is commonly found in rocks and is created when ions in hard water react with carbonate ions to create limescale. The hardness of water is measures in ppm CaCO3.
In a neutralization reaction hydronium ions react with hydroxide ions to produce what?
Water and heat
Water resistivity depends on?
Several factors influence water resistivity. Some of the most important are 1) the concentration of ions in the water; 2) the mobility of the ions in the water (smaller ionic radius ions tend to decrease water resistivity more than larger ionic radius ions); 3) the oxidation state of the ions; and 4) the temperature of the water.
A sample of tap water consists of water fluoride ions calcium ions and several other dissolved ions The ions are evenly distributed throughout the water Which term or terms could be used to descr?
Homogenous. AkA solution.
Element that is responsible for making water hard?
The metal cations are responsible for making water hard. Examples of these cations includes the calcium ions, the magnesium ions, the aluminum ions, and the manganese ions.
The particle responsible for acid properties in water is?
Hydrogen ions
Why might sodium carbonate be added to hard water to aid in cleaning?
The hard ions in the water are more attracted to the carbonate ions -2 charge
What are ions in water?
hydrogen and oxygen ions and some times impurities
What ions are present in hard water if it contains calcium chloride dissolved in distilled water?
ya mamHard water contains calcium and magnesium ions that cause hard water stains and limescale formation.
Will the water be limescale free once boiled?
Hard water has high concentrations of Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions dissolved in it. Boiling the water causes these ions to come out of the water as lime scale. However it does not remove all the ions causing hard water. To do this you need to pass the water though a 'de-ionising' filter.
Why hard water is unfit for usage?
Hard water contains a lot of ions , which can lead to the build up of limescale.
What do you mean by the water is hard and water is soft?
Hard water has natural ions dissolved in it. It keeps shampoo for forming suds, it forms soap scum, and it leaves calcium and other deposits in your plumbing. Soft water doesn't have these ions.
What do copper sulphate crystals contain?
Copper ions, Cu2+, sulfate ions, SO42- and in the most commonly encountered form,CuSO4.5H2O water =)
What is the name of the formula CaCO3?
The name of the chemical formula CaCO3 is calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate is commonly found in rocks and is created when ions in hard water react with carbonate ions to create limescale. The hardness of water is measures in ppm CaCO3.
What is the concentration of hydrogen ions commonly expressed as?
The concentration of hydrogen ions is commonly expressed as pH.
What can you find in large quantities in hard water?
Usually calcium & magnesium ions.
