Detailed Solution

large mathop {N{a_2}A{l_2}S{i_2}{O_8}.x{H_2}O}limits_{begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {sodium;zeolite;(or)} \ {N{a_2}O.A{l_2}{O_3}.2Si{O_2}.x{H_2}O} end{array}} + mathop {C{a^{ + 2}}}limits_{(Hardwater)} to mathop {CaA{l_2}S{i_2}{O_8}.x{H_2}O}limits_{Exhausted;zeolite} + 2N{a^ + }

→ Zeolite have cage like structure. Those cages helps to remove small molecules like H2O.

→ They removes the cations [Ca+2 & Mg+2] which causes hardness to the hardwater i.e., They are used as cation exchangers.

→ Zeolite are aluminium silicates having three dimensional network structure.

→ Zeolite are formed by the replacement of Si+4 ions by Al+3 ions.
