Sum vs product of concentrations

@Smokefoot:, are you sure in changing "product of the concentrations" to "sum of the concentrations" here? The product of the concentrations/(or to be more correct, activities) would remain constant as K_w.. Galobtter (pingó mió) 17:56, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hard water

explain Hard water and soft water and how to reduce the hardness — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.206.5.28 (talk) 12:34, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Because it is such a huge topic, we have lots of articles about water. This article is about certain technical properties of water. As the Hatnote says: see Water for a more general discussion. That article will take you to Water hardness. -Arch dude (talk) 16:17, 28 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This article has been thoroughly written. The lead section lays the foundation for the rest of the article, explaining the basics of water. The article does a great job building upon information to create a cohesive explanation of water and its many qualities. The article also references many different sources.

Adding theoretic vapour / actual density percentage lines to phase diagram

In every point of the phase diagram in section "Triple point" there is a certain quotient "actual molar volume of water / (theoretic or actual) molar volume of vapour water". In the orange coloured vapour area this would be everywhere 100%, molar volume there is simply R × T / p, while in the liquid and solid areas certain distinct percentage lines result which should also be a bit visible? --LKreissig (talk) 17:03, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

+== Hard water ==
-I am sorry, but I suppose you must have done an error in normal temperature water density  - "Liquid: 999.9720 kg/m3" should be "Liquid: 997.20 kg/m3" instead. Let us look at https://water.usgs.gov/edu/density.html . I went through chemical high school, I remember there was a "room" to argue that "water density is not exactly 1 (g/ml)". If it were by just 0.003%, no one would be seriously complaining, but 0.3% is something you can distinguish by normal balances.  <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:1x2trfn|1x2trfn]] ([[User talk:1x2trfn#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/1x2trfn|contribs]]) 21:57, 16 February 2017 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

-I've just reverted a good-faith edit by {{u|Weneedwikipedia‎}} to the solubility_other parameter in Template:Chembox, intending to move Weneedwikipedia‎'s new content to solvent_other, but the template does not have this parameter.  Should we record the fact that water is an excellent solvent in the infobox, or is it sufficient to record the fact later in the running text?
