Question

what happens when carbon dioxide gas is passed through brine solution saturated with ammonia​

Answer 1

Answer:

• Ammonium bicarbonate is produced by combining carbon dioxide and ammonia:

                     CO2 + NH3 + H2O → (NH4)HCO3

• Since ammonium bicarbonate is thermally unstable, the reaction solution is kept cold, which allows the precipitation of the product as white solid.

• carbon dioxide is then bubbled through the ammoniated brine solution in tower is known as the corbonating or solvay tower
