    The temporary hardness of a water sample is due to compound X. Boiling this sample converts X to compound Y. X and Y, respectively, are : [JEE Main 12-4-2019 Afternoon]

    A) \[Ca{{(HC{{O}_{3}})}_{2}}\]and\[CaO\]

    B) \[Mg{{(HC{{O}_{3}})}_{2}}\]and\[MgC{{O}_{3}}\]

    C) \[Mg{{(HC{{O}_{3}})}_{2}}\]and\[Mg{{(OH)}_{2}}\]

    D) \[Ca{{(HC{{O}_{3}})}_{2}}\]and\[Ca{{(OH)}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Temporary hardness is due to soluble \[Mg{{(HC{{O}_{3}})}_{2}}\]and\[Ca{{(HC{{O}_{3}})}_{2}}\] \[Mg{{(HC{{O}_{3}})}_{2}}\xrightarrow[{}]{Boil}Mg{{(OH)}_{2}}\downarrow +2C{{O}_{2}}\uparrow \] \[Ca{{(HC{{O}_{3}})}_{2}}\xrightarrow[{}]{Boil}CaC{{O}_{3}}\downarrow +{{H}_{2}}O+C{{O}_{2}}\uparrow \]
