Frage 10
Frage
Ion exchange columns contain a resin made of sodium and hydrogen ions
Frage 11
Frage
How do ion exchange columns work?
Antworten
-
The calcium and magnesium ions attach to the resin and the water no longer contains any ions
-
The hard water is passed through the exchange column. The calcium and magnesium ions become attached to the resin and the sodium and hydrogen ions take their place in the water. These ions do not react with soap
