(a) Which compound of sodium is used for softening hard water? (b) What is the effect of heat on the compounds ? (Write equations for the reactions): (c ) Draw the structure of : (i) `BeCI_(2)` (in vapour state) (ii) `BeCI_(2)` (in solid state)

Answer» (a) Sodium hydrogen carbonate `(NaHCO_(3))` is used for softening hard water.
(b) `underset(("Glysum"))(CaCO_(2)) overset("Heat")(to) CaO + CO_(2)`
(ii) `underset(("Glysum"))(CaSO_(4).2H_(2)O) overset("Heat")(to) underset(("Plaster of pairs"))(CaSO_(4).1//22H_(2)O) + 3//2 H_(2)O`
