What substance is removed with Descalers?

  1. Aqueous Solution

  2. Chlorine Residue

  3. Chalky White Substance

  4. Grease Buildup

The correct answer is: Chalky White Substance

Descalers are typically used to remove hard water deposits or scale buildup. These can include substances such as calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, and magnesium hydroxide. An aqueous solution, or just water, would not be effective in removing these substances. Chlorine residue can be removed with a different type of cleaner, and grease buildup would require a degreaser. Therefore, option C, the chalky white substance, is the only correct answer that describes what is specifically removed with Descalers.
