Zorluk: OrtaHardness of Water: Causes, Types, and Removal

During industrial water treatment, temporary hardness caused by dissolved calcium hydrogencarbonate is removed chemically via Clark's process by adding a controlled quantity of slaked lime, Ca(OH)2\text{Ca(OH)}_2. Which balanced chemical equation correctly represents this water-softening reaction?

  1. Ca(HCO3)2(aq)+Ca(OH)2(aq)→2CaCO3(s)+2H2O(l)\text{Ca(HCO}_3)_2\text{(aq)} + \text{Ca(OH)}_2\text{(aq)} \rightarrow 2\text{CaCO}_3\text{(s)} + 2\text{H}_2\text{O(l)}Cevap
  2. B
    Ca(HCO3)2(aq)+Ca(OH)2(aq)→CaCO3(s)+CO2(g)+2H2O(l)\text{Ca(HCO}_3)_2\text{(aq)} + \text{Ca(OH)}_2\text{(aq)} \rightarrow \text{CaCO}_3\text{(s)} + \text{CO}_2\text{(g)} + 2\text{H}_2\text{O(l)}
  3. C
    CaSO4(aq)+Ca(OH)2(aq)→2CaCO3(s)+H2SO4(aq)\text{CaSO}_4\text{(aq)} + \text{Ca(OH)}_2\text{(aq)} \rightarrow 2\text{CaCO}_3\text{(s)} + \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4\text{(aq)}
  4. D
    Ca(HCO3)2(aq)+CaO(s)→CaCO3(s)+H2O(l)\text{Ca(HCO}_3)_2\text{(aq)} + \text{CaO(s)} \rightarrow \text{CaCO}_3\text{(s)} + \text{H}_2\text{O(l)}

Cevap

Ca(HCO3)2(aq)+Ca(OH)2(aq)→2CaCO3(s)+2H2O(l)\text{Ca(HCO}_3)_2\text{(aq)} + \text{Ca(OH)}_2\text{(aq)} \rightarrow 2\text{CaCO}_3\text{(s)} + 2\text{H}_2\text{O(l)}
The equation Ca(HCO3)2(aq)+Ca(OH)2(aq)→2CaCO3(s)+2H2O(l)\text{Ca(HCO}_3)_2\text{(aq)} + \text{Ca(OH)}_2\text{(aq)} \rightarrow 2\text{CaCO}_3\text{(s)} + 2\text{H}_2\text{O(l)} represents Clark's process. Slaked lime provides hydroxide ions that neutralize the hydrogencarbonate ions in temporary hard water, precipitating all calcium as insoluble calcium trioxocarbonate(IV), leaving soft water.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the chemical cause of temporary hardness in the water sample
Temporary hardness is caused by dissolved calcium hydrogencarbonate, Ca(HCO3)2(aq)\text{Ca(HCO}_3)_2\text{(aq)}.
Hydrogencarbonate salts of calcium and magnesium decompose or precipitate when treated with appropriate alkaline agents.
2
Apply the principles of Clark's process for temporary hardness removal
Clark's process involves adding a calculated amount of slaked lime, Ca(OH)2(aq)\text{Ca(OH)}_2\text{(aq)}, which supplies hydroxide ions to convert hydrogencarbonate ions into insoluble trioxocarbonate(IV) ions.
Adding excess lime would re-introduce calcium ions and cause artificial hardness, so a stoichiometric amount is used.
3
Balance the precipitation chemical equation
Ca(HCO3)2(aq)+Ca(OH)2(aq)→2CaCO3(s)+2H2O(l)\text{Ca(HCO}_3)_2\text{(aq)} + \text{Ca(OH)}_2\text{(aq)} \rightarrow 2\text{CaCO}_3\text{(s)} + 2\text{H}_2\text{O(l)}
One mole of calcium hydrogencarbonate reacts with one mole of calcium hydroxide to produce two moles of insoluble calcium trioxocarbonate(IV) and two moles of water.
