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:
light energy
Explanation:
Plants use the energy from the sun to photosynthesize and make food

Answer:
ΔE = 5.02 x 10⁻¹⁹ j
Explanation:
ΔE (photon) = h·f = (6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ j·s)(7.57 x 10¹⁴ s⁻¹) = 5.02 x 10⁻¹⁹ j
h = Planck's Constant = 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ j·s
f = frequency (given) = 7.57 x 10¹⁴ s⁻¹
<em>Nothing happens</em>; water is still H₂O, even if it turns into ice, or vapor. Although, the molecules still move around faster, just like a normal gas would.
