The formula of zeolite is typically expressed as Mx/n[(AlO2)x(SiO2)y]·zH2O, where M represents the cation, x and y are the number of atoms of aluminum and silicon, respectively, and n and z are the charge and number of water molecules, respectively. The specific formula may vary depending on the type of zeolite.
The chemical formula for sodium zeolite is typically represented as Na2Al2Si5O12.
"Permutit" generally refers to a type of synthetic zeolite used for ion exchange in water treatment. Zeolite exhaustion occurs when the zeolite is unable to exchange ions effectively anymore. To regenerate exhausted zeolite, it is typically washed with a salt solution to displace the unwanted ions and restore its ion exchange capacity.
calcium ions present in the hard water, leading to the formation of calcium zeolite.

Yes, zeolite is a desiccant. It has a high affinity for water molecules and is often used in desiccant packets to absorb moisture in various applications such as food storage, pharmaceuticals, and electronics.
