Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Home water softeners, also called ion exchange units, are appliances that remove calcium, magnesium, and other minerals from drinking water. Resin beads inside the softener trap the calcium and magnesium and exchange them for sodium or potassium.
Detailed explanation-2: -Temporary hardness is a type of water hardness caused by the presence of dissolved bicarbonate minerals (calcium bicarbonate and magnesium bicarbonate).
Detailed explanation-3: -We can write the reaction of Clark’s method, i.e. Here, we can see the conversion calcium bicarbonate to the calcium carbonate in the presence of calcium hydroxide. So, we can say that Clark’s method is used for the removal of temporary hardness of water.
