The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to identify what monohydrate sodium carbonate becomes when heated above 373 K and what it is commonly referred to as. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Substance**: - The substance in question is monohydrate sodium carbonate, which has the chemical formula Na2CO3·H2O. 2. **Heating the Substance**: - When monohydrate sodium carbonate is heated above 373 K, it loses its water of hydration. This process converts it into an anhydrous form. 3. **Identify the Anhydrous Form**: - The anhydrous form of sodium carbonate is simply Na2CO3, which is a white powder. 4. **Common Name**: - The anhydrous sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) is commonly known as "soda ash." 5. **Evaluate the Options**: - Now, we need to evaluate the options provided in the question: - Option 1: Potash ash - Incorrect - Option 2: Soda ash - Correct - Option 3: Pearl ash - Incorrect - Option 4: Brine ash - Incorrect 6. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the correct answer to the question is that above 373 K, monohydrate sodium carbonate becomes completely anhydrous and is called "soda ash." ### Final Answer: The monohydrate sodium carbonate becomes completely anhydrous above 373 K and is called **soda ash**. ---

Dehydration of salts is an important class of heterogeneous reactions. The salt hydrates during dehydration often dissociate in steps to form a number of intermediate hydrates according to the prevailing pressure of moisture in contact with the solid hydrates. Thus, copper sulphate pentahydrate on dissociation yield trihydrates, monohydrates and then the anhydrous salt in the above order as follows: The ratio of equilibrium constant between pentahydrate and trihydrate and equilibrium between trihydrate and monohydrate is
