How zeolites fix hard water

Two solutions are prepared where a few drops of 0.2 M calcium nitrate is added to distilled water. In the second solution, a zeolite is added that will exchange Na+ ions for Ca2+ ions reducing the water hardness. Upon addition of carbonate ions, the precipitate formed in the solution with zeolites is noticeably less and eventually clears up completely.
Hard water occurs when magnesium or calcium is dissolved in water and can form deposits with carbonate or with soap. Reducing the amount of calcium or magnesium ions is the goal for water softening.

Here after reading how the mayans used this more than 2 thousand years ago, light years ahead of europeans

Great!!! I have a question : zeolite is more effective in high temperature? I mean, disolved in Hot water is more quelant in the humans? Kisses from 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱Chile

How much concentration of calcium nitrate

[rangqueaileceryzt.]

Can we drink the liquid after the process?

Why do you use ion exchange resin in zeolite method? Can you explain it to me?

[MrGlobali]

Hi and thank you very much, where that zeolite that in the video can be purchase?

[jordanchristley]

Is this proof that it could help detoxify the body of heavy metals?

[adityaedara]

aren't zeolite and ion exchange resin different?

[szymonbaranowski]

so it removes calcium. it's nothing important. if it would bind deuterium then that would be

[rosullivan]

Hi was wondering what specific zeolite you used for this demonstration

[jodiechalmers]

We drink hard water where I'm fron soft water gives us the 💩's

[corlfranco]

hey you there, loet me see your water loicence please. [ironic sarcasm joke]
