Question
Answer
What ions are in hard water?   Ca+2 and Mg+2  
🗑
What is the effect of hard water?   Produces Scum and Scale  
🗑
What is Scale?   the deposit left behind after boiling the kettle in a hard-water area. It is Calcium Carbonate  
🗑
What is Scum?   The deposit made from soap reacting with the Ca+2 ions  
🗑
Which type of water creates the most lather with soap: hard or soft water?   Soft  
🗑
What is temporary hardness?   Caused by having bicarbonate ions dissolved in water  
🗑
What is permanent hardness?   Caused by having sulfate ions dissolved in water  
🗑
How can you remove temporary hardness?   Simply boiling  
🗑
How can you remove permanent hardness?   Ion exchange  
🗑
How does ion exchange work?   where Ca+2 ion are replacing Na+ on a resin; the Na+ ions are replacing the Ca+2 in water  
🗑
Why should you treat your water if you live in a hard-water area?   Overtime, limescale will build up in washing machine pipes and block them  
🗑
Why does the water become hard again after having used an ion-exchange resin for a while?   All the Na+ions have been replaced on the resin  
🗑
How do you regenerate the resin?   Pass a concentrated brine (NaCl solution) through the resin will force the Ca+2 out of the resin and the resin will carry Na+ ions again  
🗑
What is the concentration of calcium ions in a sample of water that has: 0.4 g of calcium ions dissolved in 2 dm3 of the water   0.4/2=0.2 gdm−3  
🗑
What is the concentration of calcium ions in a sample of water that has: 0.25 g of calcium ions dissolved in 5 dm3 of the water?   0.25/5=0.05 gdm−3  
🗑
A sample of hard water has a concentration of calcium ions of 0.12 g dm-3. What mass of calcium ions would there be in a 200 cm3 glass of the water?   0.12 x 0.2dm3 = 0.024g  
🗑
What is the formula to work out concentration?   concentration (g.dm-3) = mass(g) / volume(dm3)  
🗑
