Detailed Solution

(1) Sodium Zeolite is used to remove permanent hardness of water(used as water softner).

the formula of Zeolite is Na2Al2Si2O8 .xH2O (or) simply NaAlSiO4 (or) NaZ

Which is Known as Sodium Aluminium silicate

(2) In sheet silicates , one-fourth or one-half of Silicon ions are replaced by Al+3 ions , then Zeolite  formed

They trap Ca+2 ions from hard water and replace Naions, hence acts as ion exchanger.

2NaZ(s) + M+2 (aq.) MZ2 (s) + 2Na+   (aq.)  [ M = Mg , Ca ]

(3) The structure of Zeolite permits the formation of cavities of different sizes.

Molecules like Water, NH3 , CO2and ethanol are trapped in these cavities.

Hence Zeolites acts as molecular sieves
