Unlike sodium carbonate , potassium carbonate cannot be prepared by Solvay ammonia process . Why is it so ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand why potassium carbonate cannot be prepared by the Solvay ammonia process unlike sodium carbonate, we need to analyze the solubility properties of the compounds involved in the process. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Solvay Process**: - The Solvay process is primarily used to produce sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) from sodium chloride (NaCl) and ammonia (NH3) through a series of reactions involving carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). 2. **Formation of Sodium Bicarbonate**: ...
