Using appropriate chemical reactions for illustration, show how calcium present as the dissolved bicarbonate salt in water is easier to remove than other forms of hardness such dissolved Calcium chloride

Explanation:

Calcium bicarbonate  dissolved in hard water can easily be removed by heating the hard water . On heating , it decomposes to give calcium carbonate which is insoluble and therefore can be filtered out .

Ca( HCO₃)₂  =  CaCO₃ + CO₂ + H₂O.

In this way hardness of water is removed .

- "the choice that is not an indicator of a chemical change is "state of matter changes". more common than not, chemical reactions produce energy in the form of light or heat. along with energy, they also produce a new substance called the product that could be in any state of matter (solid, gas, or liquid)."

it is to be noted that an alpha particle is an helium nucleus. so it contains 2 protons 2 neutrons and has a mass number of 4. when alpha decay particles are ejected from the nucleus it gets transformed into an atom which has atomic number less than 2 and a mass number less than 4.

an equation that could represent alpha decay is radium 226 decay of alpha particle forms radon 222.
