      Question

      Which of the following method can be employed to test

      the Hardness of Water?
      A Sublimation Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Distillation Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Formation of lather with soap Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Saponification Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Hardness of water is due to calcium and magnesium ions. Sodium salts dissolve in water and hence lather is formed. When soap is added to hard water, calcium and magnesium ions replaces sodium (or potassium) ions in the soap and gets precipitated hence lather formation is hindered. Thus, this method can be employed to test the hardness of water.
