Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The temporary hardness can be removed by boiling water. The permanent hardness of the water is due to the presence of soluble salts of magnesium and calcium which are present in the form of chloride and sulphides in water. So permanent hardness cannot be removed by boiling.

Detailed explanation-2: -Permanent Hardness of Water: When the soluble salts of magnesium and calcium are present in the form of chlorides and sulphides in water, we call it permanent hardness because this hardness cannot be removed by boiling. We can remove this hardness by treating the water with washing soda.
