Question

The molecular formula of a commercial resin used for exchanging ions in water softening is C8H7SO3Na+ (Molecular weight=206). The maximum uptake of Ca2+ ions by the resin when expressed in mole per gram resin was found to be 1x. Find the value of x.

Solution

2 mole of water softner is required for1 mole of Ca2+ ion
So, 1 mole of water softner is required 12 mole of Ca2+ ion
Thus, 12×206=1412 mol/g will be maximum uptake.
Hence,
x=412
