Write the chemical equations for the reactions involved in solvay process of preparation of sodium carbonate

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The equation involved in solvay process are, `(NH_4)_2CO_3+H_2O+CO_2to2NH_4HCO_3`
`2NH_4HCO_3+NaCltoNH_4Cl+NaHCO_3`
`2NaHCO_3toNa_2CO_3+CO_2+H_2O`
The ammonia used in this process can be recovered by treating the resultant ammonium chloride solution with calcium hydroxide. Calcium chloride is formed as a by-product.
