Demineralisation by ion exchange uses a cation exchanger in the hydrogen form together with an anion exchanger in the

  • A.chloride form
  • B.sulphate form
  • C.hydroxyl form
  • D.sodium form

Answer: C

Correct answer: hydroxyl form

Demineralisation uses two beds in series. The cation exchanger in the hydrogen form replaces every cation with a hydrogen ion, so the water leaving it is a dilute mixture of acids. The anion exchanger in the hydroxyl form then replaces every anion with hydroxide, which neutralises those hydrogen ions to water - so both the salts and the acidity disappear together.
