Question

Which of the following chemical reactions are correct steps involved in the Solvay (Ammonia-Soda) process for the manufacture of Sodium Carbonate?

Answer: A,B,C,D

💡 Solution & Explanation

All steps are correct. The process involves ammoniating brine and passing $CO_2$ to precipitate $NaHCO_3$, which is calcined to give $Na_2CO_3$. The $NH_3$ is economically recovered from the byproduct $NH_4Cl$ by treating it with slaked lime ($Ca(OH)_2$), leaving $CaCl_2$ as the ultimate waste product.
