Answer
Correct option: A.
They forms soluble complex with cationic species
a
Polyphosphates are used to remove calcium sulphate and magnesium sulphate impurities from water.
Polyphosphates are used to remove calcium sulphate and magnesium sulphate impurities from water.
It forms a soluble complex with cation and removes the hardness of the water.
The reactions involved are:
$2 CaSO _4+ Na _2\left[ Na _4\left( PO _3\right)_6\right] \rightarrow Na _2\left[ Ca _2\left( PO _3\right)_6\right]+2 Na _2 SO _4$
$2 MgSO _4+ Na _2\left[ Na _4\left( PO _3\right)_6\right] \rightarrow Na _2\left[ Mg _2\left( PO _3\right)_6\right]+2 Na _2 SO _4$
Polyphosphate makes a soluble complex with $Ca ^{+2}$ and $Mg ^{+2}$ and removes the hardness of water caused by calcium sulfate and magnesium sulphate.
