Across
- 1. formed when carbon dioxide in the atmosphere reacts with water
- 4. one method used to remove permanent hardness
- 6. This type of water can be changed when boiled
- 8. This type of water does not readily lather when mixed with soap
- 11. these ions replace calcium and magnesium when hard water is softened
- 14. formed when calcium hydrogencarbonate is broken down and a precipitate is formed
- 15. This is insoluble in water but will react with acidic rain water to make temporary hard water
- 16. water that does not contain calcium or magnesium ions
- 17. Hard water is good for keeping these strong
Down
- 2. temporary hardness can be removed from water by doing this
- 3. The soluble product formed when aid rain reacts with chalk or limestone
- 5. a soluble carbonate found in washing soda, used to remove permanent hardness
- 7. Hard water helps reduce this health problem
- 9. formed when hard water reacts with soap
- 10. temporary hard water can reduce this of this such as kettles
- 12. If compounds containing this ion are dissolved in water the water will be 'hard'
- 13. These ions are just one example of ions that are responsible for making water hard
