make me brain list
Explanation:
2NH3(s)+co2(g)>>(NH4)CO3
(NH4)CO3+CO2+H2O>>2NH4HCO3
2NH4HCO3+NaCl>>>NAHCO3+NA4Cl
NH4+HEAT>>>>Na2Co3+H20+Co2

Preperation of Washing Soda by Solvay's Process
⇒ The Solvay process is extensively used for industrial preparation of sodium carbonate (soda ash).
⇒ The process is named after Ernest Solvay who developed the process during the 1860s.
⇒ Carbon dioxide reacts with the dissolved ammonia to form ammonium carbonate followed by ammonium hydrogen carbonate.
- 2NH₃ + H₂O + CO₂ ⇒ (NH₄)₂CO₃
- (NH₄)₂CO₃ + H₂O + CO₂ ⇒ NH₄HCO₃
- NH₄HCO₃ + NaCl ⇒ NH₄Cl + NaHCO₃
Sodium hydrogen carbonate crystal separates. These are heated to give sodium carbonate.
- 2NaHCO₃ ⇒ Na₂CO₃ + CO₂ + H₂O
But this process cannot be used to prepare potassium due to the high solubility of potassium bicarbonate and hence difficult to be precipitated by adding ammonium bicarbonate to a saturated solution of potassium.
