Myschool is wrong. Check this

option A is very correct. the Hydrogen carbonate of calcium and magnesium causes temporary hardness of water, and they decomposes on heating to remove the hardness. that is why the hydrogen carbonates of Ca and Mg causes temporary hardness since they decomposes


myschool pls rectify this

The answer is A,because mg and Ca hydrogentrioxocarbonates are responsible only when it is boiled does it form an insoluble trioxocarbonate salt

Water is considered temporarily hard primarily due to the presence of dissolved bicarbonate minerals. These minerals yield calcium and magnesium cations (Ca^2+ and Mg^2+) and bicarbonate anions (HCO3^-). When water contains **calcium bicarbonate (Ca(HCO3)2)** and **magnesium bicarbonate (Mg(HCO3)2)**, it is said to be temporarily hard. Therefore, the correct answer is:

A. Ca (HCO3)2 and Mg (HCO3)2 salts

Temporary hardness is caused by the present of dissolve calcium hydrogentrioxocarbonate(iv) which discomposes on heating to form calcium trioxocarbonate(iv)

The correct answer is A

Temporary hardness is due to the presence of calcium hydrogencarbonate Ca(HCO3)2(aq) and magnesium hydrogencarbonate Mg(HCO3)2(aq). Both calcium hydrogencarbonate and magnesium hydrogencarbonate decompose when heated. The original insoluble carbonate is reformed. This happens when water is boiled.

Therefore the answer is A. myschool pls make correction it is confusing people
