Determine whether or not each ion contributes to water hardness.

Chemistry

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.

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Explanation:

1. Electrons surround the nucleus in defined regions called orbits.

2. The shells further away from the nucleus are ​larger​ and can hold ​more electrons.

3. The shells closer to the nucleus are ​smaller​ and can hold ​less​ electrons.

4. The closest shell (closest to the nucleus) can hold a maximum of two electrons.

5. Once the first shell is full, the second shell begins to fill. It can hold a maximum of eight electrons.

6. Once the second shell is full, the third shell begins to fill.

7. Once the third shell contains Eighteen electrons, the fourth shell begins to fill.

8. The arrangement of electrons in shells around the nucleus is referred to as an atom's electronic configuration.
