The molecular formula of a commercial resin used for exchanging ions in water softening is C8H7SO3Na (Mol.Wt. 206 g mol−1) .What would be the maximum uptake of Ca2+ ions by the resin when expressed in mole per gram resin?
2C8H7SO3Na+Ca2+→(C8H7SO3)2Ca+Na+ 2 mol 1 mol 412 g 1 mol
Maximum uptake of Ca2+ ions by the resin (mole per gm resin) =1412
Hence the correct option is (c).
