Search the Internet to find the answer for the following question:
Why does water sometimes produce calcium carbonate(limescale) when it is heated? What is hard water?

Insoluble salts can be made using a precipitation reaction. The method can be used to find the formula of a salt. In an experiment, of a solution of the nitrate of metal X was placed in a narrow test tube and of aqueous sodium phosphate, was added. The precipitate settled and its height was measured. The concentration of both solutions was .
The experiment was repeated using different volumes of the sodium phosphate solution. The results are shown on the graph.
What is the formula of the phosphate of metal X? Give your reasoning.
