Wat salt is responsible for temporary and permanent hardness of water?

Temporary hardness of water: CaHCO3, MgHCO3 Permanent hardness of water: CaSO4, MgSO4


What other substance cause by permanent hardness?

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.


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 temporary hardness is removed from water by boiling but permanent hardness is not?

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.


What salts can cause hardness of water?

calcium and magnesium


How can you destroy permanent hardness of water due to sulphates of metals?

zeolites


Do Calcium bicarbonate salts cause hardness to the water?

Yes. it causes temporary hardness of water, which can be generally removed by boiling water.


What method remove both temporary and permanent hardness of water?

Boiling method


What is the difference between temp hard water and permanent hard water?

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.

How is potassium palmitate used in the determination of water hardness?

Sodium palmitate produce a permanent lather with hard water..


Was the hardness of water increased or decreased by boiling?

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.
