Sum vs product of concentrations[edit]

@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]

Oops and yikes. --Smokefoot (talk) 18:03, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hard water[edit]

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[edit]

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]
