Question

NaCl+ H2O+CO2+NH3 ------- NH4Cl+X
name the compound X. compound X is a major compound of antacid why❓.​

Answer 1

X is Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3)

Sodium bicarbonate is slightly basic in nature and thus is used in antacids.

We can manufacture washing soda using sodium bicarbonate

NaHCO3 ->(on heating) Na2CO3 + H2O + CO2

Na2CO3 + 10H2O -> Na2CO3.10H2O

Na2CO3.10H2O is washing soda.

Hope it helps
