Which of the following is the best explanation for how a water softener works?

◦ When hard water passes over a resin in the softener, the Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions in the water bind to the resin in place of Na+ ions.
◦ The softener releases an acid to interact with the Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions in the hard water to neutralize them.
◦ When hard water passes through the softener, the Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions are removed through electrolysis.
◦ The softener releases K+ ions to counteract the Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions in the hard water.
◦ When hard water passes through the softener, the Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions precipitate out as Mg(OH)2 and Ca(OH)2.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
