Question #3
The process of removing permanent hardness of water by adding washing soda is based on:
A. Precipitation of calcium and magnesium carbonates
B. Evaporation
C. Oxidation
D. Ion exchange only

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Washing soda (Na₂CO₃) reacts with Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺ ions in hard water to form insoluble carbonates: Ca²⁺ + Na₂CO₃ → CaCO₃↓ + 2Na⁺. Similarly MgCO₃. These precipitates are removed, softening the water. Ion exchange uses zeolites or resins. Boiling removes only temporary hardness. Distillation is expensive.
