CaHCO
CaHCO, more formally known as calcium bicarbonate, is a chemical compound with the formula Ca(HCO3)2. It is an unstable salt formed from calcium ions (Ca2+) and bicarbonate ions (HCO3-). Calcium bicarbonate is highly soluble in water, which is a key characteristic contributing to its presence in natural water sources.
Unlike calcium carbonate (CaCO3), which is insoluble and forms limestone and chalk, calcium bicarbonate exists primarily
The presence of calcium bicarbonate in drinking water is what makes water "hard." Hard water can affect
