Answer: The ion that contribute to water hardness are:
--> a. Ca2+
--> b. (HCO)3^- and
--> c. Mg2+
While K+ DOES NOT contribute to water hardness.
Explanation:
WATER in chemistry is known as a universal solvent. This is so because it is polar in nature and dissolves most inorganic solutes and some polar organic solutes to form aqueous solutions. It is composed of elements such as hydrogen and oxygen in the combined ratio of 2:1.
Water is said to be HARD if it does not lather readily with soap. There are two types of water hardness:
--> Permanent hardness: This is mainly due to the presence of CALCIUM and MAGNESIUM ions in the form of soluble tetraoxosulphate(VI) and chlorides. These ions are removed by adding washing soda or caustic soda.
--> Temporary hardness: This is due to the presence of calcium HYDROGENTRIOXOCARBONATES. It can be removed by boiling and using slaked lime.
Therefore from the above given ions, Ca2+,(HCO)3^- and Mg2+ contributes to water hardness.
Answer:
c
Explanation:
it is corundum now please follow me
Malleability is the property due to which substances tend to hammered into thin sheets when pressure is applied. Malleability is observed in metal as the metal atoms are bound by metallic bonds. The layers of metal atoms can roll over each other without breaking the metal bond when pressure is applied. In the periodic table malleability decreases as the metallic nature decreases. Among the given metals Al is the most metallic element, followed by Zinc an Carbon is a non metal. Therefore, the order of increasing malleability will be C, Zn, Al
