Explanation:
Sodium bicarbonate is mainly produced by the Solvay process. Solvay process is sodium chloride, ammonia and carbon dioxide reaction in water. Sodium bicarbonate can be prepared by carbon dioxide reacts with the sodium hydroxide aqueous solution.
Sodium bicarbonate is a weak base with pH slightly above 7. However, Sodium bicarbonate can act as either an acid or a base. Dissolved in water, the pH will be slightly higher than 7, which is basic.
Sodium bicarbonate, also called sodium hydrogen carbonate, or bicarbonate of soda, NaHCO3, is a source of carbon dioxide and so is used as an ingredient in baking powders, in effervescent salts and beverages, and as the main constituent of dry-chemical fire extinguishers.
