Answer»

(i) Compound is NaHCO₃/baking soda/sodium hydrogen carbonate

Manufacture - NH₃ + NaCl + H₂O + CO₂ → NH₄Cl+NaHCO₃

(ii)2NaHCO₃ +Heat → Na₂CO₃ + H₂O + CO₂

Detailed Answer:

(i) The Compound is NaHCO₃ (Sodium hydrogen carbonate)(Commonly known as baking soda)

Manufacturing Sodium hydrogen carbonate :

NH₃ + NaCl + H₂O + CO₂ → NH₄Cl+NaHCO₃

(ii) On heating, Baking Soda decomposes into Sodium carbonate, water and carbon diofde.

2NaHCO₃ +Heat → Na₂CO₃ + H₂O + CO₂
