Sodium phosphate is used as an internal conditioner because it precipitates calcium as a

  • A.soluble complex
  • B.volatile compound carried off with the steam
  • C.soft sludge
  • D.hard adherent scale

Answer: C

Correct answer: soft sludge

Sodium phosphate precipitates calcium as calcium phosphate, which forms in the bulk of the water as a loose non-adherent sludge rather than crystallising on the hot metal. The sludge is removed by blowdown. This is the point of the treatment: it does not stop calcium precipitating but changes the form in which it does so.
