  1. Look at your mineral water label Where do the dissolved minerals come from? How do you think the minerals affect the water?

  2. Hard Water We are learning to: appreciate the problems associated with hard water areas. use observation skills during a practical.

  3. Scum and Scale Scum: formed when soap reacts with hard water. You need much more soap to make a lather with hard water, because it reacts with the calcium and magnesium ions in the hard water. Calcium stearate and magnesium stearate (scum) Sodium Stearate (soap) Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions (from hard water) + Na+ ions (soluble in water)  +

  4. Scum and Scale Scale: formed when hard water is boiled. Limescale can build up in kettles and heating systems. It makes them less efficient because limescale doesn’t conduct heat. CaCO3 (limescale) H2O (water) Ca2+ (from hard water) 2HCO3- + CO2 (carbon dioxide) +  +

  5. What sort of problems would hard water cause in the home?

  6. Hard Water We are learning to: appreciate the problems associated with hard water areas. use observation skills during a practical.
