Answer» Correct Answer - C For the preparation of sodium carbonate by Solvay process, raw materials used are NaCl,`NH_(3)` and `Ca(OH)_(2)` (for `CO_(2)`). The process involves the following reactions. `NH_(3)+H_(2)O+CO_(2)toNH_(4)NO_(3)` `CaCO_(3)overset(Delta)toCaO+CO_(2)` `NaCl+NH_(4)HCO_(3)toNaHCO_(3)+NH_(4)Cl` `CaO+H_(2)OtoCa(OH)_(2)` `2NH_(4)Cl+Ca(OH)_(2)toCaCl_(2)+2NH_(3)+2H_(2)O` `2NaHCO_(3)overset(Delta)toNa_(2)CO_(3)+H_(2)O+CO_(2)` Most of the `NH_(3)` can be recovered in the process. |
