Given below are two statements: Statement I: Permutit process is more efficient compared to the synthetic resin method for the softening of water. Statement II: Synthetic resin method results in the formation of soluble sodium salts. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Step-by-step solution

The difference between the zeolite and ion exchange process is that the zeolite process uses the mineral zeolite as the exchanging resin for cations in the hard water whereas the ion exchange process include several different resins for the ion exchange. Synthetic resins method is more efficient as it can exchange both cations and anions.
