Q36102520191117.png
(i) Which water samples are likely to be soft?
(ii) Explain the change in volume of soap solution used in sample 2

Maurice
(i) Sample 1 and 2

(ii) Sample 2 contained ions that caused temporary hardness therefore required large volume of soap solution before boiling, but after boiling the temporary hardness was removed, hence requiring very little volume of soap solution to lather.
