To be acidic rain must also have more sulphate (SO4=) and nitrate (NO3-) anions as compared to calcium (Ca++) and magnesium (Mg++) cations for example. The excess anions are then balanced by hydrogen ions (H+) making rain acid. 2, record 1, English, - cation%20of%20magnesium

As a solution containing calcium or magnesium ion (for example, hard water) comes in contact with the zeolite, these ions displace the sodium ions and are thus removed from the solution. 5, record 1, English, - cation%20of%20magnesium

Le rayon atomique est de 1,36 [Angströms] et celui du cation Mg2+ est de 0,65 [Angströms]. L'atome a en effet une assez grande facilité à se transformer en cation Mg2+, que l'on observe dans certains dérivés fondus tels que le chlorure ou dans des solutions aqueuses de sels de magnésium. 3, record 1, French, - cation%20magn%C3%A9sium
