Question

Salt 'A' commonly used in food products, is a reactant to produce salt 'B' , used in the kitvhen for making tasty, crispy pakoras. Salt 'b' on heating converts into another salt 'C', which is used in the manufacture of glass. Salts 'A' , 'B' AND 'C' respectively are:

Answer 1

Answer:

1. salt A is Nacl
2. salt B is NaHCO3
3. salt C is Na2CO3

Answer 2

Salts 'A', 'B' and 'C' respectively are Sodium chloride, sodium bicarbonate and sodium carbonate.

• Table salt (Salt 'A') is most commonly used in food products. Its chemical name is sodium chloride (NaCl).
• Baking powder (salt 'B') is used to make the food items such as pakoras tasty and crispy. The chemical name of baking powder is sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3).
• On heating, the sodium bicarbonate is converted into sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) and water (H2O) with the release of carbon dioxide (CO2) gas. One of the major applications of sodium carbonate (salt 'C') is the manufacturing of glass.
