Question

What type of cation is present in hard water?

  1. Ca+2
  2. Na+
  3. Mg+2
  4. Both a and c

hintHint:

Hard water has a lot of minerals.

The correct answer is: Both a and c


    • Ca+2 and Mg+2 are present in hard water.
    • Water hardness is determined by the concentration of polyvalent cations in the water. Polyvalent cations are positively charged metal complexes with charges greater than 1+.
    • Cations usually have a 2+ charge. Common cations in hard water are Ca2+ and Mg2+. These ions enter the water supply by leaching from minerals aquifer.
    • Calcite and gypsum are common calcium-containing minerals.
    • A common magnesium mineral is dolomite. Rainwater and distilled water are soft water because they have few ions.
