write production and uses of sodium hydrogen carbonate
Answers
Explanation:
Uses: Sodium hydrogen carbonate is commonly used as an antacid, in baking powder, as odor absorber, drying agent, and in toothpastes. It is also used as a fire retardant, in fireworks, for mild disinfecting, pest control, pH balancing, paint removal and metal cleaning applications.

Answer:
Production:
Sodium hydrogen carbonate is also prepared on large scales by the Solvay process, in which sodium chloride reacts with ammonia, carbon dioxide and water to give NaHCO3 along with ammonium chloride salt (NH4Cl).
NaCl + NH3 + CO2 + H2O → NaHCO3 + NH4Cl
Another main preparation method involves dissolving soda ash (sodium carbonate mineral) in water and passing carbon dioxide through the solution.
Na2CO3 + CO2 + H2O → 2 NaHCO3
