B

`CaO`

C

`Ca(OH)_(2)`

D

`CaCO_(3)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
To recover `NH_(3)` in Solvay ammonia soda process `Ca(OH)_(2)` is used.
`2NH_(4)CI + Ca(OH)_(2) rarr 2NH_(3)+CaCI_(2)+2H_(2)O`
On passing `CO_(2)` through `Ca(OH)_(2)`, it turns milky due to the formation of `CaCO_(3)`.
`Ca(OH)_(2) +CO_(2) rarr CaCO_(3) darr +H_(2)O`
`Ca(OH)_(2)` is used for white washing.
