Temporary hardness of water: CaHCO3, MgHCO3
Permanent hardness of water: CaSO4, MgSO4
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.
The anion responsible for permanent hard water is sulfate (SO₄²⁻). Unlike temporary hardness, which is primarily caused by bicarbonates (HCO₃⁻) that can be removed by boiling, permanent hardness remains even after boiling due to the presence of sulfate and other similar ions, such as chloride (Cl⁻) or nitrate (NO₃⁻). These anions do not precipitate out of solution with heat, thus contributing to the overall hardness of the water.

Permanent hardness of water is typically caused by the presence of calcium sulfate (CaSO4) and magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) in the water. These minerals do not precipitate out of solution when water is boiled, unlike temporary hardness caused by calcium bicarbonate which can be easily removed by boiling. Permanent hardness can be removed through processes like ion exchange or chemical precipitation.
Temporary hardness of water is due to the presence of calcium hydrogentrioxocarbonate(IV) which decompose on heating.when this water is heated calcium trioxocarbonate(iv) is form as insoluble and this brings the ca+ out of the solution as precipitate.once the ca+ re out of the solution soap can now lather well.

Boiling method
calcium and magnesium
Permanent hardness is hardness (mineral content) that cannot be removed by boiling. It is usually caused by the presence in the water of calcium and magnesium sulphates or chlorides which become more soluble as the temperature rises.

here two type of hardness 1-temporery 2-permanent *temporery hardness-it is also known as carbonate hardness and alkiliny hardness.it is unstable hardness.it is remove by boiling.it is the due presence of carbonate.
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.

by boiling
Permanent hardness in water is hardness due to the presence of the chlorides, nitrates and sulphates of calcium and magnesium, which will not be precipitated by boiling.
