What is the gas that reacts with calcium and magnesium when they burn?
Hydrogen gas is released when calcium and water react.
Where does calsium and magnesium come from?
Calcium comes from rocks in the earth crust so does magnesium but unlike calcium magnesium is obtained through salt water
Would calcium nitrate and magnesium react?
Calcium nitrate and magnesium will not react since calcium is more reactive than magnesium and so, magnesium does not displace calcium (See Reactivity Series). However, if Calcium nitrate is in aqueous solution (dissolved in water), some bubbles may be seen when Magnesium is added to it, since the Magnesium would be reacting with the water and producing hydrogen bubbles.
How does the metal magnesium differ from the metal calcium in their reaction with water?
Calcium reacts more easily with water than does magnesium, because calcium donates electrons to other elements more readily than magnesium, as expected for a larger atom in the same periodic table column on the left side of a wide form periodic table.
Lime calcium build up?
lime calcium is due to a high magnesium count in the water.
What is the measurement of the amount of calcium and magnesium which water contains?
The amount of calcium and magnesium in water determines its hardness.
What 2 elements make water hard?
magnesium and calcium.
What is the product of calcium and magnesium?
Clacium + Magnesium=> Carbon Dioxide + Water
How does tap water and salt water differ?
Tap water may contain: magnesium and calcium sulfates or magnesium and calcium carbonateswhilstsea water contains NaCl - salt
What is the gas that reacts with calcium and magnesium when they burn?
Hydrogen gas is released when calcium and water react.
How does the permutit process work?
permutit is a process of reducing of temporary and permanent hardness of water .The naturally occuring is called zeolite. permtit is artificial compound.when hardawater is passed through zeolite the calcium and magnesium salts reacts with sodium zeolite and forms calcium and magnesium zeolites.
How exactly does a water softener soften my water?
When calcium and magnesium build up in our water, it tends to make the water "hard." A water softener removes the calcium and magnesium and replaces it with sodium, which reduces the waters hardness. Metal ions, such as calcium and magnesium, that build up in water can react with soaps or detergents, creating a hardening effect of the water. This limits the cleaning effect of some soaps and can create build up in pipes. A water softener sends the water through an ionic exchange, where the hardness ions are replaced by sodium ions, reducing the hardness effect.
Where does calsium and magnesium come from?
Calcium comes from rocks in the earth crust so does magnesium but unlike calcium magnesium is obtained through salt water
What is the difference between hard water and soft water and why is it easier to bath in soft water?
Hard water contain sulfates of calcium and magnesium, sometimes chlorides.Soft water contain calcium and magnesium bicarbonates.
How do you convert hard water to soft water by boric powder?
Hard water contains bicarbonates of calcium and magnesium or sulphates and chlorides od calcium and magnesium . It can be converted to soft water by boiling or by adding calculated quantity of calcium hydroxide .
Would calcium nitrate and magnesium react?
Calcium nitrate and magnesium will not react since calcium is more reactive than magnesium and so, magnesium does not displace calcium (See Reactivity Series). However, if Calcium nitrate is in aqueous solution (dissolved in water), some bubbles may be seen when Magnesium is added to it, since the Magnesium would be reacting with the water and producing hydrogen bubbles.
What causes permanent hardness of water?
Presence of bicarbonates of chlorides or sulphates of calcium or magnesium in water are the main causes of hardness of water.
