Question

How is sodium bicarbonate is prepared​

Answer 1

Preparation: Although sodium bicarbonate can be found in nature, it is mostly obtained from synthetic methods. The Solvay process is the most used, in this process the sodium chloride, ammonia and carbon dioxide react to yield sodium carbonate, which react with carbon dioxide and water to produce sodium bicarbonate.

NaCl + NH3 + CO2 + H2O → Na2CO3 + NH4Cl

Na2CO3 + CO2 + H2O → 2 NaHCO3
