A. Cooling
B. Adding washing soda
C. Boiling
D. Filtration

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Permanent hardness (due to CaSO₄ etc.) can be removed by adding Na₂CO₃, which precipitates CaCO₃. Boiling only removes temporary hardness. Ion exchange and calgon also work.

Question #2
Permanent hardness of water is caused by:
A. Chlorides and sulfates of Ca and Mg
B. Sodium chloride
C. Potassium sulfate
D. Bicarbonates of Ca and Mg

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Permanent hardness is due to CaCl₂, CaSO₄, MgCl₂, MgSO₄. These do not precipitate on boiling. Temporary hardness (bicarbonates) is removed by boiling. Both can be removed by ion exchange or washing soda.
