Hydrogen And Its Compounds Question 220

Question: The molecular formula of a commercial resin used for exchanging ions in water softening is $ C_8H_7SO_3Na $ (mol. Wt. 206). What would be the maximum uptake of $ C{a^{2+}} $ ions by the resin when expressed in mole per gram resin-

Options:

A) $ \frac{1}{103} $

B) $ \frac{1}{206} $

C) $ \frac{2}{309} $

D) $ \frac{1}{412} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

[d] 1g of $ C_8H_7SO_3Na=\frac{1}{206}mol $

$ 2C_8H_7SO_3NA+C{a^{2+}}\to {{(C_8H_7SO_3)}_2}Ca+2N{a^{+}} $ 2 mol of resin requires 1 mol $ 2\times 206g $ Of resin requires 1 mol 1 g of resin requires $ \frac{1}{412} $ mol
