What type of ions are exchanged with hydroxide ions by anion exchange resins?
Calcium ions and magnesium ions
Chloride ions and sulfate ions
Sodium ions and potassium ions
Hydrogen ions and carbonate ions
Anion exchange resins. These resins contain basic groups such as ions usually in the form of substituted ammonium hydroxides attached to giant hydrocarbon frame work (R).
These may be represented by the general formula . Since these resins can exchange ions with anions such as
ions present in hard water, water becomes free from anions by treatment with anion exchangers.
