Which of the following is responsible for permanent hardness of water? (1) magnesium bicarbonate (2) sodium chloride (3) calcium sulphate (4) calcium bicarbonate

1 Answer

Answer :

(3) calcium sulphate Explanation: Permanent hardness is caused by dissolved calcium sulfate (which is not removed by boiling). Hard water contains dissolved magnesium and calcium ions. These make it more difficult for the water to form lather with soap. Temporary hardness is caused by dissolved calcium hydrogen carbonate (which is removed by boiling)

Description : Why are cimetidine or ranitidine better antacids than sodium bicarbonate or magnesium or aluminium hydroxide ? 

Last Answer : Ans. If excess of NaHCO3 or Mg (OH)2 or Al (OH)3 is used, it makes the stomach alkaline and thus triggers the release of even more HCl. In contrast, cimetidine or ranitidine prevent the interaction of histamine with the receptor cells in the stomach wall and thus release lesser amount of HCl.
