Textbook Question
Chapter 8, Problem 62Q
Hard water may contain Mg2+ and Ca2+ ions. The process of water softening removes these ions.
- a. How hard is the water in your local area? One way to answer this question is to determine the number of water-softening companies in your area. Use the Internet to find out if your area is targeted for the marketing of water-softening devices.
- b. If you chose to treat your hard water, what are the options?
