    Water Hardness

    The property of water that prevents soap from forming a lather.

    Ions responsible for water hardness

    Calcium (Ca2+) and Magnesium (Mg2+) ions are the main culprits behind water hardness.

    Temporary Hardness

    Temporary hardness is caused by the presence of calcium and magnesium bicarbonates. It can be easily removed by boiling the water as these bicarbonates decompose into insoluble carbonates that are removed as sediment.

    Water Hardness

    A measure of the soap-consuming capacity of water.

    Scum formation

    Calcium and Magnesium ions react with sodium salts of soap (like soap bars) to form insoluble scum, which prevents the soap from forming a lather and leaves a white, film-like residue on surfaces.

    Scum Formation

    Calcium and Magnesium ions react with sodium salts of soap (like soap bars) to form insoluble scum, which prevents the soap from forming a lather and leaves a white, film-like residue on surfaces.

    Study Notes

    Properties of Water and Soap Interaction

    • High surface tension of water inhibits soap lather formation, making it less effective in hard water conditions.

    Ions Contributing to Water Hardness

    • Calcium (Ca²⁺) and Magnesium (Mg²⁺) ions are primary contributors to water hardness.

    Types of Hardness in Water

    • Temporary hardness can be removed by simple boiling; it involves bicarbonate ions that precipitate as carbonates when heated.

    Soap Consumption Capacity

    • The soap-consuming capacity of water is referred to as "hardness."

    Formation of Insoluble Scum

    • Calcium and Magnesium ions react with fatty acids from soap, forming insoluble scum, which reduces soaps' effectiveness.

    Ions Indicating Permanent Hardness

    • Permanent hardness is mainly caused by sulfate (SO₄²⁻) and chloride (Cl⁻) ions, which cannot be removed by boiling.

    Hardness Classification

    • Very hard water contains hardness levels greater than 300 mg/L (ppm).
