Question

what is calgon process in chemistry?

Answer 1

Calgon process

Calgon is a trade name of a complex salt, sodium hexametaphosphate

(NaPO3)6. It is used for softening hard water. Calgon ionizes to give a complex anion:

The addition of Calgon to hard water causes the calcium and magnesium ions of hard water to displace sodium ions from the anion of Calgon.

This results in the removal of calcium and magnesium ions from hard water in the form of a complex with Calgon. The water is softened and sodium ions are released into water.

Answer 2

Answer: CALGON PROCESS

Explanation: Calgon is sodiumhexametaphosphate(Na6p6o18). when it is added to hard water the calcium and magnesium ions are converted to complex which will not interfere with soap.
