This link talks about the 2 different types of waer hardnes, which are temporary hardness and permanent hardness. Temporary hardness effects can be boiled away in a open container while permanent hardness needs to have all of it's negative ions taken away. Also talks about how you can make hard water soft.

well we have 4 more days to do this project and we haven't really started on the posterboard so i don't know how we are going to pull it off, especially since we also have to do our final revision on the script. it would probably be best if we had marissa and i working on the water project and emlyn work on final revision and i will translate lupita's interview also...all in a good week...i would love to say this is going to be fun but then there is the stress that beats down those words.

Water hardness

Just here really trying to work hard and i found a cool cite that we may want to add to our project just for why water hardness is even important for reality and what the uses of water hardness are.

Water hardness can clog up your water pipes and when you take a shower with hard water you will find that you hair is very sticky.

Soft water is quite the oppisite of hard water when it comes to ur hair but if it makes contact wit h copper, the copper will dissovle.

more blogging....yay!!

Well i'm starting to run out of stuff to research on water hardness with the looks of what my group is researching but they don't have the equation to find water hardness....oh snaps. Although i don't understand the equation, i'm sure my group will help me with this.

Hardness, mg equivalent/L CaCO3 = ([Ca,mg/l]*2.497) + ([Mg,mg.l]*4.116)

Also has some nice pics of what happens when hard water clogs up the pipes.
