2Al+Na2CO3+3H2O→2NaAlO2+CO2+3H2
So if Al is washed with washing soda it forms sodium aluminate (NaAlO2) which is soluble in water
Hence option C is correct.
Assertion (A): Permanent hardness of water is removed by treatment with washing soda. Reason(R): Washing soda reacts with soluble magnesium and calcium sulphate to form water-soluble compounds.
