Answer
Distinguish between temporary hard water and permanent hard water —
- Two unknown samples 'A' and 'B' containing temporary and permanent hard water are taken separately in a trough or beaker.
- The water is boiled slowly, gases allowed to escape out and then the water is filtered.
- Ordinary soap is rubbed by the hands inside each filtered sample.
Observation —
- One sample of water 'A' lathers with soap.
- The sample of water 'B' does not lather with soap.
Result —
- The boiled and filtered sample 'A' which lathers is temporary hard water whose hardness is removed by boiling.
- Sample 'B' is permanent hard water whose hardness cannot be removed by boiling.
