The hardness of water is determined primarily by the amount of calcium and magnesium it contains. ... Instead of having higher levels of calcium and magnesium, soft water tends to have higher concentrations of sodium, or salt.
This is a metallic bond.
I hope this helps.
Answer:
Explanation:
To separate the a mixture of chalk and potassium chloride, we must not that chalk is calcium carbonate compound, CaCO₃.
Calcium carbonate has low solubility in water. KCl is readily soluble in water and it is also an ionic compound.
To separate a mixture of compounds with various solubility, we can carryout dissolution, filtration and evaporation.
We first pour pure water into the mixture. Water will dissolve the potassium chloride readily.
Then using a filter paper we filter out the suspended chalk particles. Leave the filtrate to then dry and collect it.
The solution filtered should be evaporated to dryness. This will leave the KCl behind from the solution.
Answer: Weather refers to short term atmospheric conditions while climate is the weather of a specific region averaged over a long period of time. Climate change refers to long-term changes.
Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
When an acid or base is added to a solution then any resistance by the solution in changing the pH of the solution is known as a buffer.
This is because a buffer has the ability to not get affected by the addition of small amounts of an acid or a base. As a result, it helps in maintaining the pH of the solution.
In the give case, when we add the HCl then more number of protons will dissociate. This causes the acetate to react with the protons and leads to the formation of acetic acid.
We know that acetic acid is a weak acid and it dissociates partially or feebly. Therefore, no change in pH will take place.
Thus, we can conclude that equation 
represents the chemical reaction that accounts for the fact that acid was added but there was no detectable change in pH.
