Question

Explain the thery of solvay process for the manufacture of washing soda giving the reactions involvd give two important uses

Answer 1

manufacturing of Na2CO3 is called as solvey process

THE PROCESS FOLLOWS:

By heating sodium hydrogen carbonate we get water , carbon dioxide and sodium carbonate as the products.

NaHCO3→Na2CO3+H20+CO2+Na2CO3

In washing soda

Na2CO3+10H2O→Na2CO3.10H20

                                   (WASHING SODA)

Answer 2

Answer:

The Solvay process or ammonia-soda process is the major industrial process for the production of sodium carbonate. The ammonia-soda process was developed into its modern form by the Belgian chemist Ernest Solvay during the 1860s. The ingredients for this are readily available and inexpensive: salt brine and limestone.
