Hardness of water is due to presence of salts ofA. `Na^(+)` and `K^(+)`B. `Ca^(2+)`and `Mg^(2+)`C. `Ca^(2+)` and `K^(+)`D. `Ca^(2+)` and `Na^(+)`

Answer» Correct Answer - b
Hardness of water due to the presence of bicarbonates, chlorides and sulphates of `Ca` and `Mg` on it. These `Ca^(2+)` and `Mg^(2+)` ions react with the anions of fatty acids present in soaps to form curdy white precipitates. As a result, hard water does not produce lather with soap immediately.
