Temporary hardness is due to
Solution
Temporary hardness of water is due to the presence of dissolved bicarbonates of calcium and magnesium. When water is boiled, these bicarbonates decompose to form insoluble carbonates or hydroxides, which can be removed, thus reducing the hardness of the water. This is why it's called 'temporary' - because it can be removed by boiling the water.
