Answer: The ion that contribute to water hardness are:
--> a. Ca2+
--> b. (HCO)3^- and
--> c. Mg2+
While K+ DOES NOT contribute to water hardness.
Explanation:
WATER in chemistry is known as a universal solvent. This is so because it is polar in nature and dissolves most inorganic solutes and some polar organic solutes to form aqueous solutions. It is composed of elements such as hydrogen and oxygen in the combined ratio of 2:1.
Water is said to be HARD if it does not lather readily with soap. There are two types of water hardness:
--> Permanent hardness: This is mainly due to the presence of CALCIUM and MAGNESIUM ions in the form of soluble tetraoxosulphate(VI) and chlorides. These ions are removed by adding washing soda or caustic soda.
--> Temporary hardness: This is due to the presence of calcium HYDROGENTRIOXOCARBONATES. It can be removed by boiling and using slaked lime.
Therefore from the above given ions, Ca2+,(HCO)3^- and Mg2+ contributes to water hardness.
Answer:
three valence electrons
Explanation:
Gallium has three electrons in the outer energy level and therefore has three valence electrons. The identification of valence electrons is vital because the chemical behavior of an element is determined primarily by the arrangement of the electrons in the valence shell.
PV / T = P'V' / T'
V = V'
P / T = P' / T'
P = 630 mmHg
T = 100 K
P' = 1760 mmHg
T' = ?
630 / 100 = 1760 / T'
T' = 1760 / 6,3
T' = 279,36 K
T' ≈ 280 K

Explanation:
The molar mass of sodium carbonate is 105.9888 g/mol (grams per mole)
Answer:
A.
The sound is transmitted through water until it reaches the other whale.
Explanation:
When one whale makes a sound, the sound is transmitted through water until it reaches the other whale. The sound causes a ripple-like effect in the water, producing waves that travel in the water. The waves are heard in all directions. This is why humans can hear the sounds animals make underwater.
