उत्तर
Hardness of water is due to the presence of calcium and magnesium ions.
Presence of calcium and magnesium salts in the form of hydrogencarbonate, chloride and sulphate in water makes water ‘hard’. Hard water does not give lather with soap. Water free from soluble salts of calcium and magnesium is called soft water. It gives lather with soap easily.
So, student need to dissolve calcium chloride, calcium sulphate and magnesium sulphate in distilled water to convert it into hard water.
Hence, the correct answer is option (C).
