Answer:
             CaCO₃ built up in hot water pipes

Explanation:

The hardness of water is classified as;

Permanent Hard Water:
                                     In this the mineral content cannot be removed by boiling. This water contains mainly following,

                                        Calcium Sulfate  CaSO₄

                                        Calcium Chloride   CaCl₂

                                        Magnesium Sulfate   MgSO₄

                                        Magnesium Chloride   MgCl₂

These salts does not precipitate out on heating water.

Temporary Hard Water:
                                     In this water the mineral content can be removed by boiling. This water contains mainly following,

                                        Calcium Bicarbonate  Ca(HCO₃)₂

                                        Calcium Carbonate  CaCO₃

                                        Magnesium Bicarbonate   Mg(HCO₃)₂

                                        Magnesium Carbonate  MgCO₃

These salts does not precipitate out on heating water. i.e.

                Ca(HCO₃)₂    -------heat------>    CaCO₃  +  CO₂  +  H₂O

The CaCO₃ are formed in the form of scales.

Result:
           Hence, we can say that that CaCO₃ built up in hot water pipes.

If mercury (Hg) and oxygen (O2) were reacted to form mercury oxide how many molecules of each reactant and product would be need
dimulka [17.4K]
In order to get HgO you would need 2Hg+1O2=2HgO. Since oxygen is diatomic you need two when it stands alone causing you to need two mercuries to balance out the reactants and the product I hope this helps

Which formula represents a saturated hydrocarbon
GenaCL600 [577]
Saturated hydrocarbons are organic compounds that contain only single bonds between the carbon atoms. They are known to be the simplest organic compounds. They are termed as such because they are saturated with water. Examples are the alkanes (ethane, methane, propane, butane, etc.).
