Question

Give the principle and reactions involved in the manufacture of $Na_{2}CO_{3}$ by Solvay’s process.

Answer 1

Na2CO3 is used to remove SO2(Sulphur dioxide)(g) from flue gases in power stations. TheSolvay Process (also known as the ammonia-soda process) is the world's major industrial process for the production of sodium carbonate (NaCO3), or soda ash.

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.
