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 difference between carbonate and noncarbonate hardness?

Carbonate hardness is the measure of hard ions associated with carbonate and bicarbonate anions contained in the water.Noncarbonate hardness is the portion of total hardness in water that is not produced by carbonates, but primarily by sulfate anions.


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.


Why is CaCO3 taken as reference to measure hardness of water?

CaCO3 is used as a reference for measuring water hardness because it is a common mineral that exhibits hardness properties in water. It provides a consistent basis for comparison across different sources of water. Additionally, using CaCO3 as a reference simplifies the calculation and reporting of water hardness levels.


Was the hardness of water increased or decreased by boiling explain?

1. Only the temporary hardness of water (caused by bicarbonates) is decreased by boiling: bicarbonates were transformed in insoluble carbonates and these compounds become a precipitate. 2. The permanent hardness is not influenced by temperature.

Does potassium have hardness?

No. Alkali metals such as sodium and potassium are not usually considered contributors to water hardness. The alkaline earth and transition metals (such as calcium and iron) are. Potassium itself is a very soft metal that can be easily cut with a steel knife.


Why is ammonia-sodium chloride buffer solution is added in the determination of total hardness of water?

Ammonia-sodium chloride buffer solution is added in the determination of total hardness of water to prevent interference from other ions that may be present in the water sample. It helps to maintain a constant pH level, ensuring the validity of the hardness test results. Additionally, the buffer solution can help stabilize the complexation reactions between the calcium and magnesium ions in the water sample with the chelating reagent used in the hardness test.


Why Nacl and Kcl does not affect hardness of Water?

Because they are salts and thus are neutral. Also- water is also neutral.Improve:The above answer is not correct. Neutrality is not the issue. The reason is that sodium and potassium salts are readily soluble and will not precipitate out under normal conditions and so do not cause scale to build up in pipes and boilers. They also do not react with soap to form a scum and inhibit lathering.The sulphate, carbonate and chloride salts of calcium and magnesium are responsible for the hardness of water. They cause something called 'permanent hardness' which is manifested by the interference with soap lathering and the formation of scum. This is due to the presence of the calcium and magnesium ions in the water which causes the precipitation of insoluble stearates from the soap. Sodium and potassium ions do not cause this effect.The other type of hardness called 'temporary hardness' is mainly due to carbonate and bicarbonate salts of calcium and magnesium. Calcium and magnesium carbonate are less soluble in hot water than cold and will precipitate out in hot water pipes and boilers forming limescale. This is because the carbonate salts in tap water are in equilibrium with bicarbonate salts and the heating drives off carbon dioxide and breaks down the bicarbonate to the much less soluble carbonate.


What has the author V Cheam written?

V. Cheam has written: 'Sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and hardness in natural and spiked water samples'


Which does not cause hardness of water?

Magnesium sulfate (MgSo4) does not cause hardness of water.


How does boiling water affect the hardness of water?

Boiling water does not affect the hardness of water. Hardness in water is caused by minerals like calcium and magnesium, which remain in the water even after 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.

How is water softened without salt or potassium?

One way to soften water without salt or potassium is through physical methods such as using a water filter with a special resin that removes minerals responsible for hardness. Another method is through electromagnetic water softeners that alter the structure of minerals in water to reduce hardness. Lastly, you can boil water and then let it cool to allow some minerals to settle at the bottom, effectively softening the water.

How do you estimate hardness of water?

The water supplier can provide you the details on hardness level if you are on municipal water systems, If you are using private water then you can get tested in laboratories. You can even measure it with water hardness testing kits which you need to purchase.
