When CO2 gas pass through saturated solution of ammonical brine, two compound `X` and `Y` are formed. `Y` is used as antacid and decomposes to form another solid `Z`. Identify `X`,`Y`, `Z` and write chemical equations
Answers
Answer:
In Solvay process, also known as ammonia soda process, carbon dioxide is passed through a brine solution (containing about 28 % NaCl) which is saturated with ammonia to form sodium carbonate.

The carbon dioxide required for the reaction can be obtained by heating limestone (calcium carbonate) to 1300 K in a lime klin. Lime dissolves in water to form calcium hydroxide which is then transferred to the ammonia recovery tower.
