33. You have added excess lime to your raw to ensure complete softening reactions, Now you havescaling problems in the water distribution system and need to convert the carbonate ions intosoluble forms. It would be best for you to:a. Use Hydrochloric Acid to precipitate calcium carbonateb. Assure that the following reaction occurs: Mg(HCO3)2 + 2 NaOH >Mg(OH)2 + 2 Na2CO3 + 2 H2Oc. Lower the pH using recarbonationd. Add additional lime to increase precipitant in clarifier and force the reactions tocompletione. Add Soda Ash to decrease non-carbonate scale34. You have increasingly corrosive water in a lime softening plant. The calcium hardness timesthe alkalinity has been near 100 for some time. Now the product is 95. What additionalchemical may be required?a. Caustic Soda (Na OH)b. Carbon Dioxidec. Soda Ashd. Potassium Permanganatee. Hexametaphosphate35. The first step in the softening process isa The conversion of carbon dioxide to calcium carbonateb. The conversion of magnesium bicarbonate to calcium carbonate.c. The conversion of magnesium carbonate to calcium carbonate.d. The conversion of calcium bicarbonate to calcium carbonate36. The minerals that cause hardness in water are precipitated out of the water asa. calcium carbonateb. magnesium carbonatec. calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonated. calcium carbonate and magnesium hydroxide19
