NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2022 Report Error

Solution:

Washing soda removes both the temporary and permanent hardness by converting soluble calcium and magnesium compounds into insoluble carbonates.
$CaCl_{2}+Na_{2}CO_{3} \rightarrow CaCO_{3}+2NaCl$
$CaSO_{4}+Na_{2}CO_{3} \rightarrow CaCO_{3}+Na_{2}SO_{4}$
$Ca\left(\right.HCO_{3}\left(\left.\right)_{2}+Na_{2}CO_{3} \rightarrow CaCO_{3}+2NaHCO_{3}.$
