Which of the following substances in water causes furring of kettles?

A.

CaCO3_3

B.

Na2_2 CO3_3

C.

Ca(HCO3_3 )2_2

D.

CaCl2_2

Correct Answer:

Ca(HCO3_3 )2_2

Explanation

Even though the fur noticed in kettles is usually CaCO3_3 , furring is due to the presence of Ca(HCO3_3 )2_2 in water. This compound decomposes to give CaCO3_3, Ca(HCO3_3 )2_2 ->CaCO3_3 + H2_2 O + CO2_2
