प्रश्न
Why does hard water not form lather with soap?
उत्तर
With soap, hard water generates scum/precipitate. Soap containing sodium stearate \[\ce{(C117H35COONa)}\] interacts with hard water to form calcium and magnesium stearate (\[\ce{Ca/Mg}\] stearate). As a result, it is unsuitable for laundering. Because of the deposition of salts in the form of scale, it is also hazardous to boilers.
