If water contains dissolved calcium hydrogen carbonate,out of soaps and synthetic detegents which one will you use for cleaning clothes and why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Water conains dissolved calcium hydrogen carbonate is called hard water.This water form insoluble precipitate with soap.Synthetic detergents donot form this type of precipitates.So synthetic detergents are used for cleaning clothes with water containing dissolved `Ca(HCO_(3))_(2).

Alkali metals readily react with oxyacids forming corresponding salts (like M_(2)CO_(3), MHCO_(3), MNO_(3), M_(2)SO_(4) etc) with evolution of hydrogen. They also dissolve in liquid NH3 but without the evolution of hydrogen.

Soap is the sodium salt of a long chain fatty acid, Sodium salt stearic acis is soluble in water, whereas calcium and magnesium salts are insoluble, so when soap is added to soft water, it dissolves and forms lather readily. Temporary hardness in water can be easily removed by boiling. Permanent hardness can be removed by the addition of washing soda, Calgon process, ion exchange process. The degree of hardness of a sample of water containing 6 mg of magnesium sulphate (other salts are absent) per kilogram of water is
